Saw Lyrics - David Wilcox

from Unreleased 

.............................................. 

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone 

They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart 

Ah but there never was a weakness 

In the muscles working ceaseless 

Strength was not the problem with your heart 

You made a trade to conquer your wilderness 

They took your time, you took what they paid 

Ah but you never saw reactions 

Or really heard the satisfaction 

From the people who could use the things you made 

Chorus: 

So it's like you carry all the water 

On a long desert trip 

And then you die of dehydration 

When you never take a sip 

You had a place, a house in a neighborhood 

It was okay, but still you dreamed of more 

More than the lives that grew around you 

More than the friends that finally found you 

There was a grander life that you were working for 

Chorus 

They said your heart always was strong enough 

To do the work it was meant to do 

And the attack you underwent 

Was from a lack of nourishment 

Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you 

Your heart is dying for the life you're pushing through 

Chorus 

So they'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone 

They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart 

Ah but there never was a weakness 

In the muscles working ceaseless 

Strength was not the problem with your heart 

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
