Thursday - For the Workforce, Drowning lyrics
[Thursday - For the Workforce, Drowning lyrics]
Falling from the top floor your lungs
Fill like parachutes windows go rushing by
People inside
Dressed for the funeral in black and white
These ties strangle our necks
Hanging in the closet found in the cubicle
Without a name, just numbers, on the
Resume stored in the mainframe
Marked for delete
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands
Throw me in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
9 to 5! 9 to 5!
And we're up to our necks
Drowning in the seconds
Ingesting the morning commute
Lost in a dead subway sleep
Now we lie wide awake in our parents beds
Tossing and turning tomorrow we'll get up
Drive to work single file
With everyday it's like the last
Waiting for the life to start
Is it always just always ahead of the curve?
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands
Throw me in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
Just keep making copies of copies
Of copies when will it end?
It'll never end 'til it gets so bad
That the ink fills in our fingerprints
And the silhouette of your own face
Becomes the black cloud of war
And even in our dreams we're so afraid
The weight will offset who we are
All those breaths that you took have
Now been canceled in your lungs
Last night my teeth fell out
Like ivory typewriter keys
And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned
Down and filled the sea
Save our ship the anchor is part of the desk
We can't cut free
The water is flooding the decks
The memo's sent through the currents
Computers spark like flares i can see them
They don't touch me touch me
Please someone teach me how to swim
Please, don't let me drown
Please, don't let me drown
Fill like parachutes windows go rushing by
People inside
Dressed for the funeral in black and white
These ties strangle our necks
Hanging in the closet found in the cubicle
Without a name, just numbers, on the
Resume stored in the mainframe
Marked for delete
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands
Throw me in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
9 to 5! 9 to 5!
And we're up to our necks
Drowning in the seconds
Ingesting the morning commute
Lost in a dead subway sleep
Now we lie wide awake in our parents beds
Tossing and turning tomorrow we'll get up
Drive to work single file
With everyday it's like the last
Waiting for the life to start
Is it always just always ahead of the curve?
Please take these hands
Throw them in the river
Wash away the things they never held
Please take these hands
Throw me in the river
Don't let me drown before the workday ends
Just keep making copies of copies
Of copies when will it end?
It'll never end 'til it gets so bad
That the ink fills in our fingerprints
And the silhouette of your own face
Becomes the black cloud of war
And even in our dreams we're so afraid
The weight will offset who we are
All those breaths that you took have
Now been canceled in your lungs
Last night my teeth fell out
Like ivory typewriter keys
And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned
Down and filled the sea
Save our ship the anchor is part of the desk
We can't cut free

Please someone teach me how to swim
Please, don't let me drown
Please, don't let me drown
