Well I don't want to be caught
In a tidal wave
And everything's for naught
Is what the old folks say

Well now I find I'm distraught
I'm closer to my grave
And now I'm going to come short
Another goddamn day

When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

Well now I found myself fraught
And I am filled with rage
Another bottle's been bought
To help me waste away

I think these chains are too taut
They're cutting my rib cage
And if I give this more thought
I think I've gone astray

When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

When I'm buried in the sand

When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

Throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand
