Lyrics
Valens
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 took what I wanted.
But I didn't have what I want.
Balled up and sprawled out.
Flame on the seat of the couch.
Seemingly intangible I cup it,
Rekindle it, and ward the wind.
I took what I wanted.
But I didn't have what I want.
Balled up, sprawled out.
Seat's aflame on the couch.
Seemingly intangible I cup it,
Rekindle it, and ward the wind.
We clicked, and I clicked.
I pointed, and squinted, and pulled.
We clicked, and I clicked.
I pointed, squinted, and pulled.
And I can never take it back.
I live in this heat,
I freeze in it's wrath.
I live in this heat,
I can't win.
