Lyrics
Sweet Serene
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 needed the rain to wash away indifference
I needed the wind to air out the differences
I needed the sun to warm up my spirits
I need these elements to feel somewhat centered
I wanted some time without the impositions
I wanted a life beyond the spanish inquisition
I wanted so little, but it seems i need so much
Too much to ask for, but i want what i deserve
I need these elements to feel somewhat centered
When i walk, i don't care where i'm going
All i know is the movement does me good
Gravitation, pulleys, puppet strings
Paper, scissors, rock me back to sweet serene
I could have stayed inside for another year
I could have died if i hadn't disappeared
Too much to ask for, but i want what i deserve
I need these elements to feel somewhat centered
