Lyrics
Spiral
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.
Slowly breaking the deadbolt off the doorframe
Got stronger matches so they don't break
Can you tell that I'm
Showing off that my radar's looking lonely
The two empty glasses that I'm holding
Aren't gonna fill themselves
But now I'm losing grip on myself
'Cause you're starting to look like someone else
Got my hand in my pocket, mouth is always running
If I could see myself I would think I'm up to something
I'm not surprised this time
Just hope for the best keep your eyes closed
Try to listen for the scratch on the vinyl
Taking bets on my own survival
Being real, continuing the cycle
Next gen. revival of last week
Didn't think you could buy hope, but watch me
This drowning rivalling the lost city
And I'm seeing your eyes roll but I won't sit there idle
Got an infection, true, but it's not viral
It's in the waves and the shakes, it goes on for days
But it's worse when it's dry so
Just ride the spiral
Go out, charade and masquerade I'm not shy, you know
Say I'm fine with a a hand on the bible
Not the easiest way, it's mine though
But now I'm losing grip on myself
'Cause you're starting to look like someone else
And now I'm losing grip on myself
'Cause you're starting to feel like someone else
Got my hand in my pocket, mouth is always running
If I could see myself I would think I'm up to something
I'm not surprised this time
Got my hand in my pocket, something's always calling
And you're not who I thought you were, you're up to something
I'm not surprised this time
Sell me what you're sold
Scolding's getting old
Tell me what you're told
My defences hold
Something's always coming, so I'm always running
I think you're up to something
I'm always up to something
