Crumble Lyrics

Great song, these lyrics are missing the bit where it all goes a bit extreme, though.

The first part seems to be talking about the apocolypse, and this line:

"And as long as i've known the bumps and creeks of this house It's starting to make the types of sounds that only comes from people's mouths"

seems to be another reference to a haunted house (there were quite a few on Personal Journals). One can only assume he grew up or lives in a house that's haunted.

Later on he appears to be talking to someone, and he seems to be thinking everything is a bit bleak and hopeless, but I'm not sure what it's really about.

He seems to be talking about someone who did him wrong/lead him on, possibly a girl.

Really, like all of his songs, there's a hell of a lot going on and it's impossible to understand it all.
