Lyrics
Young States
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.
My skin is stretched over lonely bones
Can't help but choke with your hands on my throat
It's hard to make up for your moves when
They are set in stone. I assumed you were on your way
Another new face for every passing day
You say it's temporary but you can't escape
Yourself from past mistakes
You're a constant reminder of the sound
Replace tonight with better things, and make my better days
I've got this kind of hate that I can't keep put away
And what's the point of waiting when
You got nothing to lose? Tear out my eyes
Bleed alive. I've fallen out of light
You're a constant reminder of the sound
