[Verse]
I can't stand up
Cause I got no knees
A frame of dust
Collapsing with the breeze
Every shadow's sharper than it seems
Cuts my thoughts
Leaves me bleeding dreams
[Chorus]
Oh
I can’t stand up
Can’t take the weight
This heavy sky
It seals my fate
The cracks grow wider
The air won’t freeze
I can’t stand up
Cause I got no knees
[Verse 2]
The floorboards creak like they’re mocking me
Spilled coffee stains in the shape of trees
A spider’s web draped across my face
Caught in time
But I can’t leave this place
[Prechorus]
Was it the clock that broke me?
Or the years that ran too fast?
[Chorus]
Oh
I can’t stand up
Can’t take the weight
This heavy sky
It seals my fate
The cracks grow wider
The air won’t freeze
I can’t stand up
Cause I got no knees
[Bridge]
Gape my consciousness
It splits apart
A sad Mandingo with a heavy heart
The reel keeps spinning
But the tape runs thin
A loop of loss
A war I can’t win
