I got a sweet tooth Sunk in a soft spot That busts my jaw loose And makes my mouth rot And I caught a bad break The same one you caught That turned your hair white And choked your breath off So I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb I found gossip in the ivy and it'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 I've 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 I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb 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 So I'm buried by the buzz of a year gone numb 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 distance Speeding straight for you and me So I'm buried by the buzz I'm buried by the buzz I'm buried by the buzz
