Lyrics
(verse)
I’ve felt the mothballs beneath my feet for years
Comforting in darkness never had to face my deepest fears
As time went on my eyes'd feel the seeping tears
And the caress upon the cheek of terror's grace
Don't recognize the eyes in the mirror's face
Try to organise my thoughts but they always just collapse
Wallow in the filth, waiting for the dust to pass
I wanna scream, but I don't have the vocal skill
All these mis-intrepid things are nothing that a rope'd kill
Open bill, go on tag your problems onto mine
I'll work through yours cuz somehow I can always find the time
I can sit and give advice like my hand is in a vice
But when it comes to me and me alone, stuck inside the freezing cold
To work through something eating whole
Or something i don't even know
I need the mothballs beneath my feet again
I'm back before three on a count from 1 to 10
(chorus)
Fumbling dumb thing ,
Cut off my thumbprints
Crumbling skull thinks
We need to jump ship
Fumbling dumb thing ,
Cut off my thumbprints
Crumbling skull thinks
We need to jump ship
(verse)
I’ve felt the mothballs beneath my feet for years
Paralyzed and I feel so fucking weak in here
Transitioning from sane to fucking wacko
I wanna fly away, I won't know my way back though
Where'd my mask go? Where'd the cracks go?
I can smell the pesticide, feel it in my chest and eyes
Clouding up my frontal lobe and fogging up my restless mind
Don't think I'll be left alive if i just stay in here and hide
I am flotsam, I am jetsam, I am lagan, I am derelict
I lost some, I get none, I'm far gone, a heretic
With nothing to believe as fact
Nothing to relieve the lack
Of innocence that I wish to retrieve intact
Sick of seething, sick of seeing light between the cracks
Sick of feeling like I'm always bleeding on the tracks
I've spent my whole life clawing on the coffin walls
It's time to say goodbye to all the mothballs
(chorus)
Fumbling dumb thing , cut off my thumbprints
Crumbling skull thinks we need to jump ship
Fumbling dumb thing , cut off my thumbprints
Crumbling skull thinks we need to jump ship
