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 find 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 though
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 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
