A Kiss Before Dying
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 just can't breathe alone, patience pressing harder still
Have I lost my call? Fantasies all unfulfilled
What can I liken to the sea? A kiss before may bury me
To drown within a day is closer than you think
I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out, I won't get out alive
It's all uphill from here, I've walked one thousand miles for you
The final cut to slip but never had the follow through
A vagrant of song melodies, a kiss before my tendencies
I carry a blade to keep the scars that never wash away
I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out, I won't get out alive
Through time my memories have jaded
The innocence of child has faded
I break the chase, the ones that left me
All alone, yeah, yeah
I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out, I won't get out alive
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out, I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive
