Walletsworth Lyrics
Tobias sleeps on a floor he made,
From stealing in and out of other peoples names,
He never read all the formula,
And the feeling alone could never be enough,
He couldn't even begin to impress himself,
Enough to slow down and see a mattress,
would've been a better deal
It could've been a mistaken case,
He couldn't lie through another face,
He wouldn't try to have been replaced it seems,
Unmoving cold he'll attempt to go,
He never had something that could grow,
He feels his best with his bruises left unseen
And in the end he won't open up,
We'll never know if he tried enough,
He said he'd stay for another day or two,
Despite his place he can't ask for more,
He can't recall what he had before,
When all the while he can fake a smile on cue
Would you be my (be my) only address
I can only offer a walletsworth...

Tobias was a character in animorphs who became stuck in a hawk's body. I doubt this song is about that - really have no clue.
I think the last line, that everyone loves could be about position or drug dealing, address taken literally or figuratively, as in apron.
Soo. To me it sounds like someone in the throes of addiction coming in and out of peoples lives, sometimes for the good and for the not so good. Mere speculation, but Umphrey’s first drummer was addicted to Heroin, sadly he passed on still battling with it. I think if you had a codex for this it would almost be like us reading Latin and then speaking it fluently. Maybe it rings out this way to me because I was once in these circumstances. I was Tobias. WAYYYY LATE response hahaa. Cheers
