The Camel's Back Lyrics

Even though I never gave a teeny, tiny flinch

Doesn't mean I didn't always feel the little pinches

Of their ankles and the heap of stuff on my back

Even though I didn't stop along the lasting way

Never meant that I would mind a minor change of pace

Or relief of the weight for a bit or even more than that

I always end up in the mud

I always end up in the mud

I always end up in the mud

I always end up in the mud

I always wind up with the sludge

And now broken, the camel's back

Now I've fallen to my knees, trying to get through

Out of reach, there's an oasis glowing in my longview

Please don't help me, the burden is my own

Reading from the judgy faces I feel so alone

I could stand up but I suffer from a broken backbone

Come to terms with the fact that it might forever stay this way

I always end up in the mud

I always end up in the mud

I always end up in the mud

I always end up in the mud

I always wind up with the sludge
