Lyrics
Volunteer
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.
Wait for a day when you’re not relevant to the past
I’m playing, I’m playing
And it’s not a game when you know that your chances are slim
For winning, you’re winning
In all honesty you are undercutting everybody
Lean on the door you’re the easy find they’re looking for
In all honesty you’re a mess
In my mind I guess I am a volunteer
The scientist in you is resting except something’s wrong
And everyone around our table, in hushed voices says
‘It’s too late, she’s already gone’
Yes it’s a shame but you’re missing the point I am fine
Reliving, reliving
And yes I’m ashamed but the milestone is wandering far
And I’m running, still running
Matter of fact you’re the bible with a violent impact
Matter of fact you are blind
In my mind I guess I am a volunteer
Here out of choice
In my mind I guess I am a volunteer
Screaming with no voice
My spade is heavy lord I cannot dig anymore
I’m in for another win, pick up your cards off the floor
And I’m feeling the pull to the door, to the door
To the draw
In my mind I guess I am a volunteer
In my mind I guess I am a volunteer
