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 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
