The One You Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a little alike
You before things had changed
In a compass, I ride
All this feels rearranged
Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An impostor
I'm not the one you know
I look the same outside
Nearly me, even though
I carry something I hide
Underneath the one you know
Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An impostor, so disowned
Are you surprised black water flows
From wells run dry?
I'm not the one you know
Lay me out with our guilt
Watch the explosions falling
Cannot live within this tilt
Carryin' over
I'm not the one you know
Tell me, does it matter
If I'm still here, or I'm gone?
Shifting to the after
An imposter so disowned
Are you surprised
Black water flows
From wells run dry
I'm not the one you know
I'm not the one you know
