[Verse 1] I got a sweet tooth sunk in a soft spot That busts my jaw loose and makes my mouth rot I caught a bad break, the same one you caught That turned your hair white and choked your breath off [Chorus 1] I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb I found gossip in the ivy that's been swallowing my house And I found bones in the foundation that I'm just picking out now So, I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb [Verse 2] I got a fistful of shattered seashells That scream like soldiers stuck down an oil well I saw a bad sign lit up like Broadway And I watched my head spin And I heard my voice shake [Chorus 2] "I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb." I found trouble in the ghost town that I've been building with my hands But I found comfort in the snowstorm that I've been piling on my past So, I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb [Chorus 3] I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb I see symptoms of a sickness in every stranger on the street And I see danger in the distances speeding straight for you and me So, I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb
