Sliver of light Collects another day For me to feed to the machine That eats us hollow When evil arrives Soft as that old blanket I was born to reap the fate Of all that follows Hey man I can take it It's my pain that keeps this world turning How've you not considered? I'm a sinner I should die for you Dead on the vine No good thoughts escaping me I fall down at the feet Of every God I know to live But all of the time I'm bereft and uncourageous And if you pour another drink Then I could pour my heart in you Hey man I can take it It's my pain that keeps this world turning How've you not considered? I'm a sinner I should die for you
