Hands, toes, and feet All covered in dirt The dirt you pile on and on I can’t breathe I feel cold No more life in my bones No more depth in my soul No more spring I’m too old I’m tired and heavy Too weak to carry my weight I falter and fall My heart is too weak to wait And you don’t help You’re the one Who hands me the stones Of which I build my own grave But you don’t hand them You never gave me a helping hand Instead you threw the stones Piling them on and on So painful I don’t want to breathe My head pounds With all the sounds And all the shouts That you pelt me with The weight of your words are piled on and on You bury me in hate In depression Dirt, stone, and word You pile them on and on Until I’m gone

Dying Inside
Hands, toes, and feet All covered in dirt The dirt you pile on and on I can’t breathe I feel cold No more life in my bones No more depth in my soul No more spring I’m too old I’m tired and heavy Too weak to carry my weight I falter and fall My heart is too weak to wait And you don’t help You’re the one Who hands me the stones Of which I build my own grave But you don’t hand them You never gave me a helping hand Instead you threw the stones Piling them on and on So painful I don’t want to breathe My head pounds With all the sounds And all the shouts That you pelt me with The weight of your words are piled on and on You bury me in hate In depression Dirt, stone, and word You pile them on and on Until I’m gone
