The Gap
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've been at the bottom, I've been living in hell,
The highest of highs got me nothing but stares,
Maybe with the lights out we can be bad,
I'm licking my wounds, I'll be resting my head,
(So how are you to know) that I was the one that let the devil insist,
(I think you oughta know), maybe with the lights out we can be bad,
It started when your eyes rolled back in your head,
See I, can fool them all,
With you there's no way, I got nothing at all,
I strap on my boots and then I kick in the door,
(So how are you to know), I know what I've done but I'll be coming for more,
(I think you better know), Maybe with the lights out we can be bad,
It started when your eyes rolled back in your head,
Stay, the hell away from me,
Cos I do you wrong, I'm begging you leave,
Cos I've seen a crane, I've know how this ends,
It's nothing I wanna see again, I'm begging you please,
To let me go, free yourself,
The world you know, is somewhere else,
See I, have seen it all,
The rage in the bull, the white of his hearts,
And you know me better, then I know myself,
My greatest mistake was giving you up for nothing at all, for nothing at all
