“The song is about my claustrophobia. I’ve been caught in two elevators and freaked out on an airplane and this song talks all about being buried alive and just how it’s one of the worst things I could imagine.”

I'll stand for nothing less
Or never stand again
These are the limits when one's buried
This body's left the soul
So
Could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
Careful of drifting off
Now losing taste and touch
Turning a pale blue leaning in to say
This body's left the soul
The brain needs oxygen
Can't sneak around this bait
His catacomb has got me by the chin
This body's left the soul
So
Well, could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
With nothing to gain
Here's the clincher
This should be you
Now saturate
Now saturate
Now saturate
Now saturate
And touch
Well could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
(and stand for nothing less)
With nothing to gain
Here's the clincher
This should be you
Made cold and crippled
This happened to be
Never changing
Holding inside
(or never stand again)
The phobia viewed
Made cold and crippled
Ending it all
