Sinking

Black Flag · Loose Nut [1985]

Sinking

Wanting

Thinking

Sinking all the while



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



When it's cold outside

When it's cold inside

When it hurts to be alone

It hurts to be alone



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



When I'm feeling it

When I'm down and out

When I'm feeling it

When I'm down and out



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



All torn up

All torn down

Yeah

I'm thinking that I'm sinking

and I'm sinking all the while



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



Falling down

Falling down

I stand up

To fall back down



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



Caving in

Caving in

I think my heart

Is caving in



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



Dead air

Dead phone

Dead quiet

Sinking all the while



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



Writhing my hands

Grinding my teeth

Staring at the floor

Sinking all the while



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



Cutting my teeth on the blues

soul sinking to the bottom of my shoes

Thinking my life's a waiting Game

Staring at my grave and feeling the same



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



When I want what I want

When I want what I want

When I need it

I need it



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



When all I need

Is all I need

When I need it

I need it



It hurts to be alone

When it hurts to be alone



Sinking
