escape
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.
you look hurt, but it's not my fault
we're wasting time, that's for the birds
i feel cheated somehow
i feel stifled down here
no one here understands me
i feel cheated somehow
it's not my fault
you look sad, waiting for the train
the sun comes down in the rain
you look cracked, with your mirror-broken face
i feel down, seeing you so low
(but it's getting late)
baby i've got to go
i feel cheated somehow
i feel stifled down here
no one here understands me
i feel cheated somehow
it's not my fault
you get home, you're bleeding for a light
but now it's closed, the only door in sight
