Oh, stiffness in my back, won't you back off
Oh, stiffness in my neck, won't drop away
Like I can't drop away the writings on the page
They stay, they stay
Like an image erased, you're mostly gone
But they're so faint
Things tend to stay where you left them off
Trouble, trouble, she never goes
She's part of your fabric, you can't erase
Out of the ruins are seeds to sow
They come from the same bricks you build and grow
They're part of the fabric you can't erase
Can't erase
Oh, line between my brow, how did you get there?
Longing for a time that's already past
And I can't drop away the writings on the page
They stay, they stay
Like an image erased, you're mostly gone
But they're so faint
Things tend to stay where you left them off
Trouble, trouble, she never goes
She's part of your fabric, you can't erase
Out of the ruins are seeds to sow
They come from the same bricks you build and grow
They're part of the fabric you can't erase
Can't erase
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, stiffness in my back, won't you back off?
