Lyrics
Single File
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.
Here in line where stupid shit collides
With dying shooting stars
All we got to show, what we really are
Is the same kind of scars
And looking at you all I see is
You're waiting for something
Single file
You're a murder mile
You idiot kid
Your arm's got a death in it
If you're choking up, take this paper cup
But there's a price you'll pay
For trying hard to become whatever they are
And saying whatever they say
So help yourself to this bitter pill
Or somebody else will
Single file
You're a murder mile
You idiot kid
Your arm's got a death in it
