Lyrics
Check It
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.
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I'm not driving
Something hasn't quite
Taken over but it's trying
Check it, check it
The question now is time
The hours pass so slowly
I know we're moving out of line
But that's the risk you're taking with me
I flicker like an old film - Black white
I'm losing track of what's real - I know
My sense of timing's not quite - OK
Maybe I'll stay tonight - So so
Fadeout, as in lose
My character is shrapnel
Broken by the views
Of men who claim to know all
(There is to know)
Something isn't right
I get the feeling I am no-one
Something hasn't quite
Stopped me from being someone
Nothing in the mirror - Check it
No photo by my bedside - Check it
My self control is missing - Check it
I'll leave with your permission - Check it
