I Swear I Was
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 was on top, I swear.
My memories will never tell me lies.
But things change their places constantly. And it’s a shame.
I was where I was supposed to be.
But I’ve just figured out that everything is over.
You're trying to warn me about something.
But just to let you know! Io! I don't already know the anguish, the doubts, the pain.
People are born to suffer, not me.
And I'm not just skin and bones, I'm stronger.
I'm stronger than ever.
Grabbing all the things that you can't touch.
Dancing with all the ghosts you fear the most.
Honestly, I feel a bit threatened when awesomeness turns into quick forgetting.
But it's just sometimes.
You are trying to warn me about something.
But just to let you know! Io! I don't already know the anguish, the doubts, the pain.
People are born to suffer, not me.
And I'm not just skin and bones.
I'm stronger than ever.
There’re no chances left to bring back the past.
Now I'm nothing but the dust on their feet.
Unrememberable.
