5-3-10-4 Lyrics

    Schoolyard freaks are freezing, down getting teased again
    I'm looking back and down and watching it go by
    Down at the stockyards cattle screaming, the trains squeak by again
    I can feel my breath and i'm so thankful i'm not one of them

    The sound of the ground freezing is pounding once again
    It comes with the wind that once wiped off our smiles
    Alarm clock bells are screaming out the same routine again
    Scrape open your eyes, rise and fucking shine, 7 am

    Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
    Unsure, unslept, uncovered
    The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
    Through 5-3 eyes

    Schoolyard freaks are freezing, pushed to the ground again
    I'm looking up and west for black to fill the sky
    The sound of bottles breaking still breaking in my ears
    They opened just in time to empty out and gouge away the years

    Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
    Unsure, unslept, uncovered
    The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
    Through 5-3 eyes

    Schoolyard freaks are bleeding, down getting kicked again
    I can taste the earth and feel it in my eyes
    The sound of cattle screaming, still screaming in my ears
    They came in metal coffins -
    Chained me up and hacked me off my years

    Sit down, dead weight, and wonder
    Unsure, unslept, uncovered
    The new light of dawn discovered by ungrateful eyes,
    Through 5-3 eyes
