Lyrics to Grind



The ground is pulsing

The pace is constant

So unrelenting as the day goes forward



There’s no escaping

It’s too incessant

The soulless shuffle and the crushing boredom



CH



It’ll grind you down if you allow it to

It’ll chew you up and have its way with you



The noise relentless

A pounding hammer

Against your psyche and it’s growing stronger



The blaring anger

Constant frustration

You can’t endure this clamor for much longer



(CH)



Where is the quiet?

The dulcet silence

That used to punctuate this lack of order



No time to wonder

They can replace you

You’ll be discarded and thrown in the corner



(CH)
