Against the Grain

A cut of the wrist
Don’t leave me strength
There’s an arrow only I can take
Cover the marks
Don’t leave me strength
Hold me while I lose my grip
Don’t look up, you can save yourself
Don’t look right, there ain’t anybody else
Don’t cry out, don’t expose your name
You gotta kick against the grain
Don’t look up, you can save yourself
Don’t look right, there ain’t anybody else
Don’t look up, you can mark your name
Don’t look down, you’re against the grain
You’re losing yourself behind the face that you created
You’re losing your head inside of all that you created
You’re losing your feet above the world that you created
You created
You created
Don’t look up, you can save yourself
Don’t look right, there ain’t anybody else
Don’t cry out, don’t expose your name
You gotta keep against the grain
Don’t look up, you can save yourself
Don’t look right, there ain’t anybody else
Don’t look up, you can mark your grave
Don’t look down, you’re against the grain
Hold me when I lose my grip
I really need you
Hold me when I lose my grip
I know I’ll need you
You know I’ll need you
You know I’ll need you
