[soft introduction] It hurts [Verse 1] Something changed, but I can’t say when A little less room now than I had back then The ceiling seems somehow a little low But maybe that’s how things change and grow [pre chorus] Another day, another task Another question no one asked Nothing’s broken, nothing’s wrong Seems to take a little more to muddle on It hurts! [Verse 2] The days get heavier under my feet The nights get shorter, the events repeat There’s less of me left at the end of each day But there’s always something extra in the way [pre chorus] A little more effort, a little less air A little more “you will”, a little less “fair” And I keep thinking I’ll get used to it But every time, the screw, you tighten it [Chorus] But I can’t take another thing I can’t take another thing Don’t put another weight on me Don’t put another weight on me I’ve got enough upon my back I’ve got enough, I picked up the slack One more thing and I don’t know How much further I’ll go It HURTS! [Verse 3] Now every little pop feels loud Every unexpected bang draws a crowd A simple problem becomes a storm A tiny crack where there wasn’t one before [pre chorus] I used to bend, I used to cope I used to find a measure of hope Now the smallest pressure makes me shake How much longer can something finished take? [Chorus] I can’t take another thing I can’t take another thing Don’t put another weight on me Don’t put another weight on me I’ve got enough upon my back I’ve got enough, I picked up the slack One more thing and I don’t know How much further I’ll go [Bridge] Turn it slowly Don’t you dare I can feel it Everywhere [Instrumental] [Long Chorus] I can’t take another thing I can’t take another thing Don’t put another weight on me Don’t put another weight on me I’ve got enough upon my back I’ve got enough, I picked up the slack One more thing and I don’t know How much further I’ll go I can’t take another thing I can’t take another thing I can’t take another thing Not another thing on me [Outro — repeated, increasingly devastated] It’s too much now (It’s too much now) It’s too much now (It’s too much now) It’s too much now (It’s too much now) I didn’t notice I didn’t notice I didn’t notice [Long note, painfully shouted] Until it huuuuuuuuuuuuuurt! [Screamo] AND IT HURTS!
