There's ash on the floor
And every day gets harder than before
But tell me, can you make a little more?
Yeah, I still believe it
But are you receiving
Everything you need
For the children you feed
But there's too many mouths
And not enough hands to do the work
This winter's longer than the one before
If God doesn't take us
Why would he make us this way?
Scream his name while we scrape away

But I think that God could explain
Why we ended up this way
I forgot all good things that I believed in
Another episode is ending

See it bend
Can you feel it break
Watch it crack
Under all that weight
She said

Watch it crack
Under all that weight

I don't know you
And I don't want your name
This episode is ending
Watch it fade to static gray

I just see the turning of gears now
I can see the flaws in the machinery
I can make it work, and I can show you how
I just needed someone to believe in me

See it bend
Can you feel it break
Watch it crack
Under all that weight
She said

I think that God could explain
Why we ended up this way
I forgot all the things I need to make this work
Another episode is ending

Do the work
Do the work

Do the work
I know it hurts
Do the work
I know it hurts but you have to

I could never make this work
I could never make this work
