Vermillion
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.
There's a man with a face like sorrow
Now he's gone for good
How could anyone hold you without feeling good?
There's a shock with the thoughts that I borrow
Swim around my head like snow
How could anyone ignore you?
So play on, play on, play on
The skies are made vermillion
We're singing in a concrete saw
Oh we're all just castles in the cards
There's a hole in my blood when I see you
I hear crashing drums
How could any other language hope to lead me on?
Little sparks in the puddles shoot like darts
at all the things we might be
you and me
and time itself is frozen
So play on, play on, play on
The skies are made vermillion
Killing all the saints tonight
Oh play on, you shadows of the night
So play on, play on, play on
The skies are made vermillion
If all I was was all I felt
Then the sun itself would start to melt
Into waterfalls pouring down icicles
Oh play on
So play on, play on, play on
The skies are made vermillion
Killing all the saints tonight
Oh we're all just dancers in the night
