Lyrics
Big Red Machine
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.
we're safe when love would come in
we read my mind so many times
the earth is only sand
fucked up and puked up in dismay
and resolve to slowly run in circles
so slow
the fence that you sent me
rolling along the bottom
jesus
for I'm feeling sad
so many killed
their running their engine
just like you ought to be
to me, my heart
could i correct the dawn
my body
the sorry might do it
long lift one line
big red machine
that's all i've learned: to suffer. x3
