Worms

Everyday I reach down into the dirt Hoping to find me a little nugget of gold But all I got is some worms Everyday I pull green slime down to my heart Grab it with both hands and hold until my lungs burn I think tragedy sleeps at the foot of my bed Its incessant breathing keeps me awake Every time I wake up it takes me at least 10 minutes to remember my name And sometimes I get it wrong Every time I reach out into the world hoping to find a kindred soul I get burned Burn it down I've been searching for a reason I've been living for the season Give me something to believe in Burn it down --- Worms - Bloodlet
