Certain Things You Ought To Know
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.
It was cutting. It was done with style.
It was just a way to see you smile.
Shadows in the snow:
There are certain things you ought to know.
There are certain things you ought to know.
Springtime on the barricades -
Our Springtime Charades.
Oh, don't mind me, it's just that vipers define me
And I never thought it'd be this way...
Springtime on the barricades -
Our Springtime Charades.
Now don't mind me, it's just that vipers define me
And I never thought it'd be this way...
Bridges made of sand
Are the ones in your hand.
Let go...
There are certain things you ought to know.
There are certain things you ought to know...
All a dagger can ever be
Is a ship against the sea
Turning to snow...
