[Verse 1]
Well I don't want to be caught
In a tidal wave
And everything's for naught
Is what the old folks say
Well now I find I'm distraught
I'm closer to my grave
And now I'm gonna come short
Another goddamn day

[Chorus]
When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

[Verse 2]
Well now I find myself fraught
And I am filled with rage
Another bottle's been bought
To help me waste away
I think these chains are too taut
They're cutting my rib cage
And if I give this more thought
I think I've gone astray
[Chorus]
When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

[Bridge]
When I'm buried in the sand
When I'm buried in the sand
When I'm buried in the sand

[Chorus]
When you throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand

[Outro]
Throw my feelings on the fire
I can't keep this down
And I feel like I won't be afraid
When I'm buried in the sand
