Genius.com (Lyrics):
Nick - Crack the bark and hack the pine
My honest task, at least is mine
I needn't eat, not rest for time
But what you've lost-
Shut up, Nick, you're fine
A Scrap heap feels no guilt or shame
It can't grow wise or old
No nightmares for i'll never rest
In bed nor casket cold
You wonder where she is-
Just Chop
You wonder if she cries
Perhaps if you can find her-
STOP! i'll still be right here when she dies
For even if i found her
My love has all been lost
There's only bitter iron regret
For what devotion caused
More steel than soul
More corpse than man
I'll waste my life an empty can
Stop Thinking
Just keep chopping
Work will blunt the pain
Consumed with woe
You rusted solid
In the rain...
And as he stayed the whole year round
His soul ran wild
But body bound
Till I guide me
All but replaced
No memory of
Her face
Nick tries to him the rest of the melody as his mouth is rusting shut
