lyrics

utah looks different in the wintertime. it’s been years since i’ve seen snow.
i hardly recognize these friends of mine. just faces i should know.
the desert was not kind to me. i still wake up from frights.
got a job at the factory. working third shift nights.

i miss the action of the fight, i need me somethin to ignite
i miss that push and I miss that jump. i need that rush and I need that bump.

this money comes and money goes, need new car and I need new clothes
but that's not important, i suppose, another paycheck right up the nose
this world is spinnin way too slow, i found that out five years ago
you don't have to tell me, i should know, this world is spinnin way too slow.

loved ones all have left me. they don't understand.
they've not seen what I've seen, the cruelty of man.
the answer always tempts me, i can only hold out so long.
but the answer leaves me empty, because the answers always wrong

i miss the action of the fight, i need me somethin to ignite
i miss that push and I miss that jump. i need that rush and I need that bump.

this money comes and money goes, need new car and I need new clothes
but that's not important, i suppose, another paycheck right up the nose
this world is spinnin way too slow, i found that out five years ago
you don't have to tell me, i should know, this world is spinnin way too slow.

with this dull pace of this dull life, i am losin the race like I lost my wife
i start to chase a brand new high as i see my face in this dull knife.
with this dull pace of this dull life, i am losin the race like I lost my wife
i start to chase a brand new high as i see my face in this dull knife.
there is salt in the lake and there is salt in my mind
and these salted wounds won't heal this time
i could end it all for real this time
with one fell just swipe of this dull knife.
just one more line, please one more line
one more line, just one more line.
i could end it all for real this time
with one fell swipe of this dull knife
there is salt in the lake and salt in my mind
and these salted wounds won’t heal this time
you’ve insulted me for real this time
i could end it all for real this time

i could end it all for real this time with one fell swipe of this dull knife
