Lyrics

It’s out of my realm of control
I can’t seem to get hold of myself
Or get out of my own head
And this whole mountain’s ‘bout to explode
I start to feel like I’m trapped
Boxed me in, and now I'm stuck in the throes
Breathe in through the nose
I feel it crawl up my back
Under my skin, down deep in my bones
Exhale through the mouth until the top blows

Calm won’t take it, the clamor and the crowding ‘round
Smile and fake it, a temper in a dressing gown
Flipping over tables and chairs just to shake it up
Grasp is fatal and never makes sense enough
I still can’t shake it off

We’re falling out of the sky into a barrel roll
That sends us spiralling deep down the rabbit hole
Trapped!
No way back up to the starting line
Best curtsey while you’re thinking because it saves time
Lost all my patience and my good advice
I thought I’d burn down the house amid the decline

Calm won’t take it, the clamor and the crowding ‘round
Smile and fake it, a temper in a dressing gown
The hole is getting deeper, or else we’re falling very slow
And crowding in closer, and never leaving well enough alone

Burn down the house
(Burn down the house)
Smoke the monster out
(Mary-Ann)
Burn down the house
(Smoke the monster out)
Smoke the monster out
(Mary-Ann)
Burn down the house
(Two days slow)
Smoke the monster out
(Smoke the monster out)

Mary-Ann
(Stark raving mad)
Mary-Ann
(Stark raving mad)
Mad
(Stark raving mad)
Mad

Calm won’t take it, the clamor and the crowding round
Smile and fake it, a temper in a dressing gown
Everybody’s watching me screaming and freaking out
The air’s too thick and my lungs have all but given out
