hide in your hands cower in fear

look through your fingers i'll show you what's happening here

put it away under the bed

a box full of all of the old things you tried to forget

when you’re all washed out and you need some help

they'll let you down they'll watch you drown

don't shut your door I'm out in the hall

and i could just stand here forever sink into the wall

the walls are too thin i told you the truth

the memories that hurt to remember they mean something to

when you’re all washed out and you need some help

they'll let you down they'll watch you drown

and when you need some help cause you’re all washed out

they'll let you down they'll watch you drown

swam out to deep in the fountain despite what they preach from the mountain they'll stand back and laugh while you’re drownin' and crying for help

so take down that old virgin mary the river keeps rising it scares me there's nowhere to hide on the prairie and nowhere to run
