Lyrics
Dark Purposes
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.
Maybe it stands to reason
Boys set fire to the seasons
They fight to beg
They try to be bigger than the times will allow the times to be
That's not to say the open road or an open driveway
Will come to a view that suits us
Or improve upon our purposes
Something could be worse than this
It's true, you're the one I came for
Two people they couldn't agree more
Just my luck, who goes there?
Friend of a friend again
It's true, you're the one I came for
Two people they couldn't agree more
Just my luck, who goes there?
Friend or accomplice to horrible ends?
This trellis you really didn't make
Well, if I can't pass through, then who?
The flowers surround us
The power's a plus
But if I can't get through, then who will get through?
If I can't get through then who will get through to you?
By-product of yesterdays trades, he is
