The song’s title references the Biblical Psalm 103:15 which reads:
As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer.
[Intro]
The sun became sharper
With every second
Fell into its color
I fell into its friend
The dark one sharing light
Sharing shape; its lover
The distant foe
And on and on
When we're all gone
Who's to say
What's right whats wrong
Or was it plain as day?
Well I'll keep fishing for the truth
In a blotcheded pond atop my lap
It's too wide to crawl deep
I'm too wise to cry
But too dumb to tell you why
And you start to cry
And all I have is "sorry"
[Pre-Chorus]
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am sorry
I am
I am
[Chorus]
Tell all of your friends
The desert won't move
The seasons don't change
And sweat
Drips from my brow
Indicates how unhappy I am
The concrete and despair
Slipping into
The flow of my veins
The red button is pushed
The gun's in my mouth
'Cause this is a cage
Tell all of your friends (I am here all the same)
That this is a cage
All of my friends
Tell all of your friends (I am here all the same)
That this is a cage
All of my friends
Tell all of your friends (I am here all the same)
That this is a cage
All of my friends
[Outro]
