Lyrics
Backmask
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.
Don't know why so much confusion
needs to be obsessed about
Under the mountain, the seeds depression
watch it disappear
Don't remind me again
It's already written
Distance always seems familiar
Nothing here can change without
listening carefully for your queue
to exchange the other lines
Late at night and call to us
building nesting in our skulls
so it can rest conveniently
conserving all the energy it takes
lower your head and take some
time to feel the sound
Surrender expectations
It's not just an explanation that we've found
Don't remind me again
It's already written
and nothing's only alive
it's already been given
Don't know why so much confusion
needs to be obsessed about
Under the mountain, the seeds depression
watch it disappear
Late at night and call to us
building nesting in our skulls
so it can rest conveniently
conserving all the energy it takes
lower your head and take some
time to feel the sound
Surrender expectations
It's not just an explanation that we've found
There's no need
There's no need to force it down
There's no need to force it down
I just need
I just need to make a sound
There's no need
There's no need to force it down
There's no need
I just want
I just want
I just wanna make a sound
There's no need
no need to force it down
