Tragedy
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.
The end, it shouldn't end like this
It's the bottle she is merciless
She's stringing me along
She's stringing me along
And how could such a palace house
Deceit and malice
There's something wrong here
There's something wrong here
As the words were chosen
His heart was frozen
His sould had spoken
But it sounded all twisted and broken
Years and years ago
They delivered the final blow
And suddenly his life ain't a damn
There were ghosts
And they lit up this town
But they left
When they sold off the underground
We ain't welcome here no more
As the words were chosen
His heart was frozen
His sould had spoken
But it sounded all twisted and broken
I, I won't let you down
It's my first day back in town
But my skin is six feet underground
And everything is different now
The end, it shouldn't end like this
It's the bottle, she is merciless
She's stringing me along
She's stringing me along again
As the words were chosen
His heart was frozen
His sould had spoken
But it sounded all twisted and broken
