Lyrics
Action Is The Anecdote
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.
Maybe I'll be broken like the bones that carry me,
Living life so lifelessly,
Or I could be a good scene in a bad dream,
I could make it something beautiful,
And just tare it away, tare it away
from what you don't believe in.
You're dying like this living sideways
I've been living like this all along.
I can see that what we have is a problem here,
and I could be something better if you love me dear.
Stop, stop with the time you're wasting
turn my back and run away
I can see that the closest thing to perfect
is the farthest thing from me.
Then I could make you love me and just me, just me
And everything would be beautiful
And they could count down the days, count down the days as we both die.
Maybe I'll be broken like the bones that carry me,
Living life so lifelessly,
You can't stand the sound of silence
You're going to live your life alone.
I can see that what we have is a problem here,
and I could be something better if you love me dear.
Stop, stop with the time you're wasting
turn my back and run away
I can see that the closest thing to perfect
is the farthest thing from me.
farthest thing from me.
