(Verse 1) Boot heels digging into dry, cracked clay Counting down the shadows at the turn of the day Eyes fixed straight on a point in the fog Trapped in the rhythm of a endless slog Feet keep moving 'cause the feet don't know There’s nowhere left for the road to go A mile turns to ten, then the knees start to yield Scraped raw, dragging through a barren field (Chorus) One more inch through the gravel and dust Moving out of habit, moving out of must Reaching for a line that was never drawn Crawling through the dirt toward a fake-ass dawn Hands in the mud, chest on the stone Breathing in the ash until the lungs are blown Knowing in the gut, in the marrow of the bone It never fucking stops. It never fucking stops. (Verse 2) Flat on the belly, fingernails split deep Told there’s a rest that you're supposed to keep Just past the bend, just around the next turn Where the debt clears out and the bridges don't burn A cruel little joke whispered into the ear Keep grinding down the gears year after year So you pull yourself forward by a handful of grit Too tired to stand, too hollowed out to quit (Chorus) One more inch through the gravel and dust Moving out of habit, moving out of must Reaching for a line that was never drawn Crawling through the dirt toward a fake-ass dawn Hands in the mud, chest on the stone Breathing in the ash until the lungs are blown Knowing in the gut, in the marrow of the bone It never fucking stops. It never fucking stops. (Bridge) The horizon just moves every time that you move Stuck in the track of a broken-down groove You can bleed out your strength till there's nothing left inside There’s no golden ticket at the end of the ride Every step is a sinkhole, every breath is a debt And the heavy dark wave hasn't even hit yet Just the urge to lay flat, let the dirt cover the face To finally quit running in a rigged-deck race (Outro) Fingers slipping in the earth. No grand finish. No second birth. Just the endless crawl. Just the endless wall. Heavy in the throat. Heavy in the chest. Knowing there is no rest. There is no rest. It never stops.
