David Wilcox - Saw lyrics

rate me

from Unreleased

..............................................

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone

They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart

Ah but there never was a weakness

In the muscles working ceaseless

Strength was not the problem with your heart

You made a trade to conquer your wilderness

They took your time, you took what they paid

Ah but you never saw reactions

Or really heard the satisfaction

From the people who could use the things you made

Chorus:

So it's like you carry all the water

On a long desert trip

And then you die of dehydration

When you never take a sip

You had a place, a house in a neighborhood

It was okay, but still you dreamed of more

More than the lives that grew around you

More than the friends that finally found you

There was a grander life that you were working for

Chorus

They said your heart always was strong enough

To do the work it was meant to do

And the attack you underwent

Was from a lack of nourishment

Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you

Your heart is dying for the life you're pushing through

Chorus

So they'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone

They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart

Ah but there never was a weakness

In the muscles working ceaseless

Strength was not the problem with your heart

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
