Lyrics
Citizen
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.
This is a day without
A trace of reason
No matter where you turn
And the walls will fall
Affirming nothing
So what's it all about?
Call on a bright star
Or play your hand as an intellect
Wounds always speak too loud
Get along for awhile
See the sin in the sea
How the innocent are bound to the damned
What is, just is, I know
So we're trapped by answers
Love haunts to the end
Are we all to ride
The edge of nothing?
Shake hands if I deny
And if they don't know
Their heart is stopping
Cause everyone is right
Get along for awhile
See the sin in the sea
How the innocent are bound to the damned
What is, just is, I know
So we're trapped by answers
Love haunts to the end
From the moment that we're born
Till we're old and tired out
Do we ever know?
From the moment that were born
Till we're old and tired out
Do we ever know?
