They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone   They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart   Ah but there never was a weakness   In the muscles working ceaseless   Strength was not the problem with your heart      You made a trade to conquer your wilderness   They took your time, you took what they paid   Ah but you never saw reactions   Or really heard the satisfaction   From the people who could use the things you made      Chorus:   So it's like you carry all the water   On a long desert trip   And then you die of dehydration   When you never take a sip      You had a place, a house in a neighborhood   It was okay, but still you dreamed of more   More than the lives that grew around you   More than the friends that finally found you   There was a grander life that you were working for      Chorus      They said your heart always was strong enough   To do the work it was meant to do   And the attack you underwent   Was from a lack of nourishment   Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you   Your heart is dying for the life you're pushing through      Chorus      So they'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone   They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart   Ah but there never was a weakness   In the muscles working ceaseless   Strength was not the problem with your heart      They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
