  • I'm a whisper lost upon wind
    I'm the ember that'll burn you down
    I'm the water that'll drown you
    I'm a star that's just a black hole now
    I'm a terrifying danger
    I'm a fruit decaying on the ground
    I'm a swallower of anger
    I'm the tree that falls and makes no sound
    I make no sound

    And 'cause if I stand up, I break my bones
    And everybody loves to see a fall unfold
    Ain't nobody giving up
    'Cause nobody gives a fuck
    Stand up, and break my bones
    Everybody wants what they just can't hold
    There's nobody praying for me

    I am fungus in the forest
    I'm a lizard with a poisoned tongue
    I'm the child in the manger
    I'm the one who sacrificed his son
    Rust is showing on my armor
    I am wheezing like an old man done
    I'm a product of my anger
    I'm the bullet in a loaded gun

    Stand up, I break my bones
    Everybody loves to see a fall unfold
    Ain't nobody giving up
    'Cause nobody gives a fuck
    Stand up, and break my bones
    Everybody wants what they just can't hold
    There's nobody praying for me

    If I stand up, I break my bones
    Everybody loves to see a fall unfold
    Ain't nobody giving up
    'Cause nobody gives a fuck
    Stand up, break my bones
    Everybody wants what they just can't hold
    There's nobody praying for me
