  • Written By: Mackenzie
Meet me glassy eyed, blind, and divine
Holding down the fort on the coastline
The castle is a pimple
On the face of our orb
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 the 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
Thought of the end of the world
If it weren't for our tinnitus
From the bomb

In the wind I sway back and forth
I'm brittle as an aged human being
There 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 invisible
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
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 be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle
