Ebb & Flow - Man Without Country

This is the sound of my lungs giving up

When I’ve sung more than enough

Now I can’t sing

This is something that I could do without

But I’m too far away now

I’ll never make it back

My soul’s being sold in every note I hold

When the playback drones I just recoil

No these are not the only notes I know

They’re my only hope of singing this song

It’s why I look so tired

And I’ve gone so quiet

I try not to show

I’m pale as a ghost

And it’s why I’m uninspired

And I’ve lost insight

Why I’m high and I’m low

I’m ebb and I’m flow

Bite the hand that feeds you, you reap what you sow

You’ll only be a winner in an auction for my soul

When god gave out virtues you politely held the door

Chase your dreams on a rodent wheel, you’ll only hit a wall

It’s why I look so tired

And I’ve gone so quiet

I try not to show

I’m pale as a ghost

And it’s why I’m uninspired

And I’ve lost insight

Why I’m high and I’m low

I’m ebb and I’m flow
