Against the Grain

A cut of the wrist
Don't leave me strength
There's an arrow only I can take
Cover the marks
Don't leave me strength
Hold me while I lose my grip

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't cry out, don't expose your name
You gotta kick against the grain

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't look up, you can mark your name
Don't look down, you're against the grain

You're losing yourself behind the face that you created
You're losing your head inside of all that you created
You're losing your feet above the world that you created
You created
You created

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't cry out, don't expose your name
You gotta keep against the grain

Don't look up, you can save yourself
Don't look right, there ain't anybody else
Don't look up, you can mark your grave
Don't look down, you're against the grain

Hold me when I lose my grip
I really need you
Hold me when I lose my grip
I know I'll need you

You know I'll need you
You know I'll need you
