Will there ever be a moment I won't feel this heat coming up from ground?
Will there ever be a time when I can show myself through open doors?
All I need is you to tell me how to reconcile this guilt and shame
I've already ripped myself to pieces and I've given it away

All the weight lies upon my shoulders from
The great disruption
It's hard to breathe inside these waves of doubt
Tidal distraction

Can you tell me how to wish away this chaos making my head spin?
Can you tell me how to soothe the savage beast locked up inside these walls?
Will there ever be a place that I can hide and heal these open sores?
Or do I have to cut them out and eat them as my people adore?

All the weight lies upon my shoulders from
The great disruption
It's hard to breathe inside these waves of doubt
Tidal distraction

I have, I have lost my way
Reaching, reaching for today
I have, I have lost my way
Reaching, reaching for today

Say when
And I'll come running back
Say when
And I'll come running back
Say when
And I'll come running back
Say when
And I'll come running back

    My Interpretation

    The entire double album titled Hushed and Grim that this track is from is said by Mastodon to be dedicated it to their friend & manager Nick John who died in 2018 of pancreatic cancer. This song to me seems to be about the great loss of John and immense impact that his passing has had on the band over time.
