Verse:
I know they say talk is easy
Well tell that to my mouth
I got this pretty little lexicon
But no words are coming out
I know exactly what you need
Yet I know what I can't be
I'm not the tulip, I'm the weed
Yet still you have faith in me
Chorus:
I won't be able to pull you out of the abyss
Like I can't prevent you from falling in
Is this a matter of cowardice?
Or is this what I've always been?
Verse:
This wall, it seems impregnable
Well, damn it all to hell
They've built this picture-perfect pedestal
And at the bottom I dwell and dwell
I'm truly glad you cannot see
My metamorphoses
I'm not the beetle, I'm the flea
Yet still you have faith in me
Chorus
I won't be able to pull you out of the abyss
Like I can't prevent you from falling in
Is this a matter of cowardice?
Or is this what I've always been?
Ending
I'm the hole in the hull of this hollowed out tanker
(I'm neither the lifeboat, nor the anchor)
Does not making it better mean I'm making it worse?
I may not be the murder weapon, but I sure as fuck can't seem to stop the hearse
I'm not the chosen one
Ich bin immer der blöde Junge in der Rodelbahn
I'm neither the lifeboat nor the anchor
(I'm the hole in the hull of this hollowed out tanker)
