Breaking sweat and toil
Preparing for the charge
Behind the break room banter
Anxiety looms large

Odds grow fainter still 
With each frantic rush
That I’ll make it out of hell
Without a dying lung 

Do I stay and risk my fall
But I know that Hobson called
To tell me there is
No choice left at all

Can you see me now
Now that I’m saving your life 
I’ve been here this whole time 
I’ve been here all along
Watch your step
Hold your breath
If you martyr me on this linoleum floor
If i don’t make it
Remember who 
Remember who 
I did it for

Wife son and daughter laid off 
I’m working for their meals 
I walk into the freezer
To remember how to feel

The fearful come and go
Take what’s left to take
Count my hours until
The rest of rent is made 

Do I stay and risk my fall
But I know that Hobson called
To tell me there is
No choice left at all

Can you see me now
Now that I’m saving your life 
I’ve been here this whole time 
I’ve been here all along
Watch your step
Hold your breath
If you lartyr me on this linoleum floor
If i don’t make it
Remember who 
Remember who 
I did it for

They walk right through me 
As if I am a ghost
Their clothes smell like my casket
I’ll still fill your plastic basket
After all
I am yours 
I am yours
I am yours

So can you see me now
Now that I’m saving your life 
I’ve been here this whole time 
I’ve been here all along
Watch your step
Hold your breath
If you lartyr me on this linoleum floor
If i don’t make it
Remember who 
Remember who 
I did it for
