Lyrics
Hoquiam
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.
Standing with my feet deep in the ground
Was I nothing but a landslide in your mind?
Am I no one until someone calls me out?
Are you just pretending when we talk?
You should have seen me
Keeping watch at dawn
Picture now a car ride through the plains
Where east meets west and only sky remain
Were you faking death to only gain concern?
The cut out lights and signals told us wrong
You should have seen us
Carefree behind the wheel
Lover I am still here breaking chairs
Will I ever be the hero in your song
Or forever in your shadow so unseen?
Trapped between the lines that you write down?
You should have told me
Broken jaw and all
Crippled in your glory
Restless till my death
