Lyrics
Helena
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.
Hello from the room, where I'm selling my clothes
I steal light from the Sun and you still not approve
Pushing the ground so my feet finally moved
I was never as big as the world
I keep in touch with my man down the hall
Who's been pining for days at the loss of his soul
He was caught up in the laughter of moons
And we were never as big as the world
Stealing the coins from the pockets of fools
Exchanging of hands where the riddles are gold
Laughter, a currency we never afford
You were nevеr as big as you were told
Seeing yourself through thе waves of farewell
Where once you were them but now cannot tell
Being unsure of who you are now
The world is a liar, the stars are a must
And the world is a liar, the stars are a must
The world is a liar, the stars are a must
