Threads

When I have spare time I want to learn to play the drums
And get stupid tattoos on the knuckles of my thumbs
Maybe when I'm older I'll get one for my dad
But even if it's pretty I know it'll drive him mad
Even if it's pretty I know it'll drive him mad

It's hard to stop the feeling that I can do no right
Hair's too short, clothes too gay, can't go out like that at night
But I want to kiss boys, fall in love on repeat
Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep?
Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep?
Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep?

So I'll pierce my nails into my head
And drag out all of these loose threads
Trace the cracks along my skull
And fill the gaps with cotton wool
My mind needs patching up

I want to stay young because i'm scared of getting old
I want to hold onto december while the winter is still cold
The rain that trickles down the glass will turn back into the sea
When my body turns to ash I wonder what will become of me
When my body turns to ash I wonder what will become of me

The city's far too loud for me, I want to disappear
To a river where the current's the only thing I hear
I'll sink down below, grow gills and webs on both my hands
Fast-track evolution, scientists won't understand
Fast-track evolution, scientists won't understand
Fast-track evolution, scientists won't understand

So I'll pierce my nails into my head
And drag out all of these loose threads
Trace the cracks along my skull
And fill the gaps with cotton wool
My mind needs patching up

Shall I dig myself a hole? Start living underground?
Would anybody notice if I wasn't around?
Laying in the dark, chewing rocks with bloody gums
I liked it better thinking about tattoos on my thumbs
Liked it better thinking about tattoos on my thumbs
I liked it better thinking about tattoos on my thumbs

So I'll pierce my nails into my head
And drag out all of these loose threads
Each fraying stitch I'll try to mend
I'm tying up all these loose ends
My mind needs patching up

Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep?
Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep?
Is love just when you want somebody with you when you sleep?

My mind needs patching up
