Slip

Lifting up from this
Balance under pressure shifts
Feel the gears slip
Feel the gears slip

Strain, nothing ever lifts
Nothing ever lifts
Drain, nothing ever shifts
Nothing ever shifts

Wiping sweat from battered brow
Dreaded thinking living now
Feel the years shift
Feel the years shift

Strain, nothing ever lifts
Nothing ever lifts
Drain, nothing ever shifts
Nothing ever shifts

Again and I've been here before
Bled, again the machine turns out more
Blackened from the dirt
My vision seared and blurred

Here beneath the wheel
My face against the steel
Clutching at the earth
Where is my support

Falling into line
Is losing what is mine
Falling into line
Losing what is mine

Here beneath the wheel
My face against the steel
