I shoulder my burden like anyone would
You try to soothe me, I never thought you could
Life on the sidelines is just a taste of death
The taste is stronger with every breath

Take out my eyes and make them sober
Take out my heart and make it see
I wanna sleep when this is over
I don't feel so good
I don't feel so good
Feel so good
Feel so good

The crying soldier lays bleeding on the field
Another empty bottle for all the secrets they concealed

Take out my eyes and make them sober
Take out my heart and make it see
Oh and I wanna sleep when this is over
Oh I don't feel so good
I don't feel so good

Oh, my sweetness
Oh, my sight
Oh, my sweetness
Yeah while the world is beating down your door
You ask me,"How much more will do the trick?"
As I lay contemplating the floor
Looking for the switch
Looking for the switch
I shoulder my burden like anyone would
You try to soothe me, I never thought you could
Life on the sidelines just a taste of death
The taste is stronger with every breath
