Lyrics
Canaanite
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.
And then the pain stops
There's a motherfuckin' reason that I thrive in the dark
There's a reason anger dwells inside the noblest hearts
Long since removed from everything I had to lose
The fire's spreading so you better make your fuckin' move
All you see was built with fists, blood, and an iron spine
Best bet if they couldn't keep up, they were left behind
So get to steppin' punk - you're outnumbered me to none
I have come to crush you all with the hate I've become
The quiet ones are hiding the darkest nightmares
I don't want to belong, I just want to be gone - so long
Lay me down in the earth, so that nothing will hurt
No good of himself does a listener hear
Speak of the devil and he's sure to appear
The choking seeds, on which we feed
Have all but caused our throats to bleed
I don't want to belong, I just want to be gone - so long
Lay me down in the earth, so that nothing will hurt (goodnight, goodbye)
I don't want to be strong, I don't care if I'm wrong (this ghost, this life)
Everything is a lie, everybody should die
A light shineth in darkness, and the darkness swallowed it whole
Truth in the tenet and dust in the fucking well
Royals are left with no stories to tell
With the essence of all that was virtuous lost
No one is chosen to serve as a God
I don't want to belong, I just want to be gone - so long
Lay me down in the earth, so that nothing will hurt (goodnight, goodbye)
I don't want to be strong, I don't care if I'm wrong (this ghost, this life)
Everything is a lie, everybody should die
And then the pain stops
