Lyrics
Trials
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'm broke at the seams and falling apart.
You wanna hang on so I'm letting you go.
You can come back when you make up your mind.
Please give him a call, I want you to see that love isn't real and your heart doesn't bleed.
You can come back when they let you down.
All cards are out, I'll follow your lead.
I'm all relieved and I'm stuck in a sigh.
You can come back and give us a try.
Stuck in the herd, falling back, hoping you don't last.
Shadows of teeth and caskets are used.
A beddow is made, straighten your spine and you can come back whenever you lose.
High on your words you try to inhale.
I'm calling it blood in every verse and you can come back whenever you fail.
Tied to your waist, I'm a ship on a chain.
I'll make them think that the death was rehearsed.
You can come back when it's your turn.
Stuck in the herd, falling back, hoping you don't last.
All cards are out, I'll follow your lead.
I'm all relieved and I'm stuck in a sigh.
You can come back and give us a try.
Tied to your waist, I'm a ship on a chain.
I'll make them think that the death was rehearsed.
You can come back, baby it's your turn.
Stuck in the herd, falling back, hoping you don't last.
