The Strays
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'd still cheer for you
Ten years down the line
Time
Stepped away from me
Stained with tiger stripes
Losing all your life
Strained - Strained - Strained
From this boring dream
What must it be like
With your world alight
Hard to swallow
but how goes the best bite
Catch your warrior's eye
With an asteroid sign
Strained
How can I stay here and rust
When I'm set to explode
You can outrun everything
But the debt that you owe
You think I'm vicious
But you don't know what vicious is
I'm not from the distance
So step out the stars of my wrist
Step out the stars of my wrist
If it's just the bored
Asking this kind of thing
Where
Do we fit in
Watch the star dust rise
With your ending eyes
Take
What you want from me
We're the last ones left
Left to conquer less
Get the others
And cut to the next Scene
To be truly free
Free
Than tons of bombs are through me
Take
How can I stay here and rust
When I'm set to explode
You can outrun everything
But the debt that you owe
You think I'm vicious
But you don't know what vicious is
I'm not from the distance
So step out the stars on my wrist
Step out the sides on my wrist
Do you remember when the stars
Were much much higher
You would try to count them all
But you grew tired - tired - tired
How can I stay here and rust
When I'm set to explode
You can outrun everything
But the debt that you owe
You think I'm vicious
But you don't know what vicious is
I'm not from the distance
So step out the stars on my wrist
Step out the stars on my wrist
