Overstayer Every Time I Die

I should've drowned in the flood with the rest
I had the chance
The current was pitiless
And proof of man was wiped from the face of Earth
The song, the dance
Yeah, I should've gone with it
Alas, alas, I'm stranded alone in the wake

Now I have lost all sight of the grave
When did I ever say that I wanna be saved?
I can see for miles but it don't look the same
When no road has been paved go up
Go up
Go up
Go up

Now how am I gonna get down?
I want a slow death wrought from the dregs
"I wanna be sedated," just like Joey said
I want the heaviest heart

I have eaten my weight in gold
I can see only what I'm shown up here
But in the coals with common men who yearn for ordinary things
Love cannot find us
