(Words: Nicky Wire/Richey James; Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore)

Scratch my leg with a rusty nailsadly it heals
Colour my hair but the dye grows out
I can t seem to stay a fixed ideal

Childhood pictures redeemclean and so serene
See myself without ruining lines
Whole days throwing sticks into streams

I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna diedie in the summertimeI wanna die

The hole in my life even stains the soil
My heart shrinks to barely a pulse
A tiny animal curled into a quarter circle
If you really care wash the feet of a beggar

I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna diedie in the summertimeI wanna die

I have crawled so far sideways
I recognise dim traces of creation
I wanna diedie in the summertimeI wanna die
