My Drowning World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I want him to be a failure Ah, to live in the ruins of my own life To surf on the waves of nothingness My secret language still with me The coal dust still sat on my lungs My mother a long-lost distant ghost [Chorus] Oh the glory of my drowning world All the marriages, diaries and the hurt The ice in the veins The feeling so sweet, yeah It's a ritual that I intend to repeat To repeat [Verse 2] My father's anger still raging Overwhelmed by a million words None of which I wrote, all of which I learned Hymns of my youth still call me More than a Hamlet, morе than a Lear Bored by the scripts, borеd by Shakespeare [Chorus] Oh the folly of my drowning world All the marriages, diamonds and the hurt The ice in the veins The feeling so sweet, yeah It's a ritual that I intend to repeat To repeat [Outro] And in my self-destruction Never worked on St. David's Day The only principle I ever obeyed
