Asking Too Much

OUTRO — EXTENSION

I still hear it

when the room gets quiet

Their voices

wrapped around my throat

(A little bit every day)

Not all at once

(A little bit every day)

Just enough to wear you down

They won

Didn't they?

NEW SECTION — Heavier, half-time feel

I say it's fine

I say I'm fine

I say these things

right out loud

But at night

in the dark

I still reach

for what I made

(Nothing there)

(Nothing there)

And I keep moving

through the motions

clock in

clock out

another day

another year

NEW SECTION — Driving, crust-influenced

They built the walls

so slow I never noticed

They drew the lines

so thin I never saw them

They gave me everything

I never asked for

And took the only thing

I ever wanted

(And I let them)

(And I let them)

NEW CHORUS — Sludge stomp

I DON'T BLAME THEM ANYMORE

THAT'S THE WORST PART

I BELIEVED THEM

IN THE END

I TOLD THE SAME LIES

TO MYSELF

I TOLD THE SAME LIES

TO MYSELF

FINAL REPEAT — Degrading into feedback

To myself

To myself

To myself—

(To myself)

Sustained feedback, ringing strings, amplifier noise fading out
