LYRICS
Trying to grab by my fingernails
’cause right now what ails is what fails
The thin ice
Crackin’ me up
Fingernails down a blackboard
Sending shivers… shivers up and down my spine
yeeeeeah
Not sure if it’s fine
Sending shivers up and down my spine
The claw
Of it all
The claw of it all
As the fingertips go down
The chalkboard
Blackboard
The slate
At any rate
It sends shivers, chills
It spills chills
Up and down the spine
My spine
Ahhhhhhh
It’s intertwined
With pain
You’d have to be insane
Caught up in your own vain
Injecting vain into your vein
’till you feel no pain
The down side is you’re the pain
Driving us insane
The thin ice
It’s the fingers and the slate
Could drive a man irate
By the fingernails
What ails is what fails
The thin ice
