Mummify Lyrics

If you remember the sharks tooth you gave me, I will hang it round the throat of my first born baby
and the weight of the chain on his shoulders, will hang heavier each day that he gets older
so I carry my own weight in plaster, and sleep with my lips wrapped round a coat hanger
when you were only as good as the picture, fluttering burning stain in my fingers
and I, I, I, I, I~
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
to mummify the silence in the room, with you
I lived 86 hours underground though I didn't help to dig the tunnel
used the time to carve four others, where the tongue and the gum and the bone all hover
and I, I, I, I, I~
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
to mummify the silence in the room, with you, you, you, you, you~
tried to, to, to, to, to~
mummify the silence in the room, with me
(solo)
purple flairs and no shoes, in a muddle in the middle of fairview airy
I wrapped my body in tape, I made my face into a loaf of bread
and I, I, I, I, I~
tried, tried, tried, tried, tried~
to mummify the silence in the room, with you, you, you, you, you~
tried to, to, to, to, to~
mummify the silence in the room, with me, me, me, me, me~
me, me, me, me, me~
