MIY - Work

Your hand
Hardened like your heart
Every beat
Tears your chest apart
But you are still standing

Your feet
Deep in the mud
Reaching down for stone
For bone in the blood
Like teardrop in the flood

Rain
Won't wash your dirt away
Wind won't take you to bay
Earth only saves you
On the final day

You have to...
Work!

Your hand
Hardened like your heart
Every move hurts
As you dig yourself
Out of your grave

Your feet
Deep in your own blood
Your nails shredding off the old skin
Summoning your old kin
To carve your way through the mud
Like a raft in the flood

The harder it gets
The harder you get
The darker it gets
The brighter you get
The faster it comes
The faster you get
The more you fail
The less you regret

Your feet
Walks the road you built
Plotted by your heart
But raised by the hand
