lyrics

You've been wondering where I've been, a blow too dull to break the skin, running just to be stood still, pushing your bike up the hill.

Rattling around my skull, it's more animal than mineral, holding onto everything that I'm trying to let go. But still you wait and still I'm cold, standing in your winter coat, looking at the rocks below, so rare yet so inert.

I am the crust you are the mantle. Shake down the plaster from that old wall.

I am the crust, you are the mantle to me, you shake me up, still I can't feel anything. You've been wondering where I've been, a blow too dull to break the skin, running just to be stood still, pushing your bike up the hill.

I am the crust you are the mantle. Shake down the plaster from that old wall. I am the crust you are the mantle. I'm the crust and you're the mantle, your bike up the hill.
