lyrics

I'm so on edge
I never seem to stop
Chewing at my fingers till they bleed
But I'm trying to put an end to this
My girlfriend bought a fidget toy to substitute the fix

Unnecessary habits will put me in the ground
I talk to myself when there's no-one else around
You ask me a question but I don't hear a sound

I'm a mess
Such a fool
I've forgotten all the rules

There's something wrong
With a muscle in my leg
But I won't see a doctor for the pain
Well I hope there's nothing wrong with it
Reconstructive surgery is scaring me to death

What am I doing shuffling down the hall
I shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets at all
Everywhere I go I'm staring at the walls

I'm a mess
Such a fool
I've forgotten all the rules

The next alarming headline will give me a heart attack
But maybe we'll move to Iceland and I can finally relax
The basement's overflowing with homicidal rats
But no-one in the house is brave enough to lay the traps

"The end is near" is the mantra of a fool
Rearranging matter is the one defining rule
I'm a perfect student but I never went to school

I'm a mess
Such a fool
I've forgotten all the rules
