Meet me glassy eyed, blind, and divine Hold down the fort on the coastline The castle is a pimple on the face of the world A humble spot for clues to drop if you eavesdrop
I see through the bricks, to the sea, crumbling castle Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle Inching closer each century, crumbling castle Are we safe in our citadel?
Look upon our condition, crumbling castle You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle
We wait for the death, that does not come, crumbling castle Dug all of our holes in God's acre, crumbling castle We have even said our last rites, crumbling castle Are we safe in our holding cell?
Look upon our condition, crumbling castle We head to our extinction, crumbling castle
The sounds of the constant lightning Would be enough to block out The fall of the end of the world If it were not for the tinnitus from the bomb
In the wind I sway, back and forth I'm brittle as an aged human being When my walls are safe from wild weather The filth forms into great nastiness Polygondwanaland
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
I don't want to fall into dust I don't want nothing but to live on The ache inside my keep spurs me on I don't want to be visible Polygondwanaland
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
On this very day, in one thousand years The earth will be relative to the sun and the moon And a new world will be created I know because it is written here
I see through the bricks to the sea, crumbling castle Inching closer each century, crumbling castle Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle Are we safe in our citadel?
Look upon our condition, crumbling castle You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle
I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
