Terrible Disease Lyrics

Covered in talcum powder, I woke alone
The sound was getting louder, a heavy drone
I tried to remember all I'd been taught
But in the heat of December I lost the plot

All I knew was never there

Teach me it all again
This time I've got a bottle
I'll jam the lessons in there
I'm a calm axolotl

Doc, I've got a terrible disease
I cannot speak, my mouth is filled with feet

Don't send me out to bat
I'll just sit on the bench and
Try and justify why
Walking fish get a mention

Doc, I've got a terrible disease
I cannot hear the music in my ears

It's so difficult to explain
I'm talking to a wall
If I had a skull made out of cellophane
Would that redeem me at all?

Coming to the conclusion I might need prescriptions
To control my internal, internal conniptions

Doc, I've got a terrible disease
I cannot see the forest for the trees
Doc, I've got a terrible disease
I cannot hear the music in my ears

Living on light
You're scary when you're sleeping
Living on light
I'm feeding while I'm breathing
Breathing on light
I ventured out into the woods
Living on light
I read every word in the book
Well I said it I guess but no-one knows

Taking my time
I can't see it but I still believe it's there
And I don't mind
My teeth are rotten and I'm told I'll [???] my hair
It's such a crime
(I'm a firm believer that no news is good news)
To see a spider with eight legs only using two
I only have to hear your voice to see your face
