Story Behind the Song
Crumble was written in 1996, and originally released in 1997 on Cheese...and Other Assorted Balls. This song was a gift. It took me 20 minutes to write.
Lyrics
stone sponge storing the hold on you
brush off, everything else in view...
wordless stare beginning within,
a shameless affair not lef in sin
sleeping mind resting the eyes from this
back breaking world of mine
feeling more than you know of me
soaking in your dirty sea
Chorus:
fire, stones, masses of bones
crumble under me as I am alone
gripping within, I'm holding me down
cause I can't crumble alone on the ground
flowing thoughts picking you up to see
nevermind, depression's free
dream to dream, I am chained within
I live to dream to lie in sin
Chorus:
Bridge:
invert abandon, yet to be free
as I continue to hold me
your piercing eyes, leave my disguise
for I once rested calm n your skies
Chorus:
dark eyes gleaming in the light
pushing mine into the night
walking gently in this crowd
cause I can't crumble alone on the ground
