Lyrics
Standard
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.
I've been living below the standard
With a hunger that feeds the fire
I've been eyeing your plate of diamonds
With an envy that kills the pride
See the solstice the gift for you
Wasn't easy to let die
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see, you
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see in the mirror
When you're feeling forceless?
Do you see a man who isn't there?
Looking for the sake of living
I can promise that no one cares
I've been living below the standard
While you struggle being holding on
Am I an addict doing my young features
You always keep me coming back for more
See the distance becomes between us
Isn't measured by the weight of gold
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see, you
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see in the mirror
When you're feeling forceless?
Do you see a man who isn't there?
Looking for the sake of living
I can promise that no one cares
