I don't mind a little carpet ride
The kind that takes you where you want
And It's no surprise
To cultivates the path
Of least resistance for the soul
The one that gets the better of us all
Now, stop, these chemicals
Don't Breathe my breaths
Or sweat my sweat
We stumble 'til we crawl
The clothes I'm wearing
Shed my skin in
Stop me speaking
Closer's closing in
Closer is closing in
What a prize, a second slice
It chips away the armour and inspires
A cannon ball that's
Heading for your lungs
It braves the distance from the sun
So get out of the way before it comes
Now, stop, these cannon balls
Don't fight my fight
Or squeeze my veins so tight
It'll be alright
The boots I walk in
Tearing my skin
Down my tools and
Closer's closing in
Closer is closing in
Now, stop, feel, these chemicals
Don't Breathe my breaths
Or sweat my sweat
We crumble after all
The clothes I'm wearing
Tearing my skin
Stop me speaking
Closer's closing in
Closer is closing in
