lyrics

I'm waiting for the axe to fall
In this endless peer review
I'm going to be there watching
When they tighten the screw
All my bad habits hold me tight
And lead me closer to the light
Pick up the slack
Pick up the bill
Pick up the skin I shed
I hold me in my arms
I hold me lifeless
I hold me dead
All my past lives
They hold me tight
And lead me closer to the light
My friends they whisper things
The crows all tell me what was said
I am alone at home
With the covers pulled up
Around my head
All of these rumours grip me tight
And lead me closer to the light
They lead me closer
They lead me close
I'm waiting for the axe to fall
In this endless peer review
I'm going to be there watching
When they tighten the screw
All my bad habits hold me tight
And lead me closer to the light
They lead me closer
They lead me closer
