Lord
Take this cup from me
I've been praying every night in hopes that somehow you would hear my pleas
Lord
Take this cup from me
Lately I can't sleep cause I'm too busy pushing boulders in my dreams
I am not your strongest soldier
I cannot put up a fight
I'm no commander or a general in general
I won't last another night
Life is a prison
You are the warden
I wish I could rip all of my flesh off and break free
My body was designed to kill me
My brain was made to send me straight to hell
My shoulders shake
From the effort that pushing a boulder up a mountain takes
Oh what a weight
To carry when the world is on your back and you can't escape
Oh, Sisyphus
Oh, Sisyphus
Who are you to shrug when you're just another Atlas?
Oh, Sisyphus
Oh, Sisyphus
Keep climbing to new heights until you're just another Icarus
Lord
Take this cup from me
All this uphill climbing lasts forever, put an aching in my feet
Lord
Take this cup from me
Clasp my hands together, raise them sky high as I fall down to my knees
There is a bottomless pit at the end of the tunnel where the light should be
Still I keep limping along cause it's a curse I bear this life I lead
Life is a prison
You are the warden
I wish I could rip all of my flesh off and break free
My body was designed to kill me
My brain was made to send me straight to hell
My shoulders shake
From the effort that pushing a boulder up a mountain takes
Oh what a weight
To carry when the world is on your back and you can't escape
Oh, Sisyphus
Oh, Sisyphus
Who are you to shrug when you're just another Atlas?
Oh, Sisyphus
Oh, Sisyphus
Keep climbing to new heights until you're just another Icarus
Anyone who says that it gets better has clearly never had to roll a boulder up a cliff
Anyone who says that it gets better is a liar and someone who has no right to assist
My body was designed to kill me
My brain was made to send me straight to hell
My shoulders shake
From the effort that pushing a boulder up a mountain takes
Oh what a weight
To carry when the world is on your back and you can't escape
Oh, Sisyphus
Oh, Sisyphus
Who are you to shrug when you're just another Atlas?
Oh, Sisyphus
Oh, Sisyphus
Keep climbing to new heights until you're just another Icarus
