[Verse 1]
When you cut the nerve
I don't feel a thing
They say that I will walk
And I know you'll try to sing
But I don't mind wasting time
There is nothing I can do
They say that I will walk
Oh, but that might not be true

[Chorus]
But I know that I can crawl
Just like glass after the attack
I can let the maggots eat
The death flesh off my back
So learn to say it now
With the correct pronunciation
They say that I will walk
It's only denervation

[Verse 2]
When I hit the ground
You don't feel a thing
But I can't get up and dance
To those notes that you can't sing
And when it breaks the bone
The trauma hard and blunt
Well, I can't get up and dance
Darlin', this is not a stunt

[Chorus]
But I know that I can crawl
With your
Dead weight on my back
I can forage in the woods
And fend off all attacks
So say it to me now
Make a formal proclamation
You think that you will walk
Oh, what vivid imagination
