she calls me goliath and i wear the david mask
i guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
you know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
all the stones that are thrown are building up a wall
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
but my old stone face can't seem to bring her down
she remembers bridges, burns them to the ground
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

too heavy too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right, today or tonight
cumbersome
too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
the bitter taste is cumbersome

there is a balance between two worlds
one with an arrow and a cross
regardless of the balance life has become
cumbersome

"don't go there" I heard her say.
"you can't stomach what you're going to see"
It's down there, by the water's edge
wasted and bloated and waiting for someone else

funny how, these things come about
when you're tied to the teeth and mouth
no sound or fury, no shot of pain
there was no real reason, no gain

I can't go down to the waters edge
I didn't do it.....I saw who did
Don't go down to the waters edge
they did it once and they can do it again

it ain't no secret to me
how she got there down by the stream
I'd seen her a minute before the van pulled up and opened
the door (took all my love)

but I can't say a single word
about what I saw of her
her killers....they got their friends
in familiar places, I tell you man

this ain't no fucking game
and I'm feeling so ashamed
because I didn't do anything
no I didn't do anything
to stop this from happening I didn't do a thing I swear
