Lyrics
Arcades
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.
Swimming with piranhas in my gut
Feeding on the hand that waves good night
For I am also what I have lost
And I have it all except mercy
So I wait in line
And I wait my turn in line
You're getting away
You're slipping away from me
And I know that soon
You will be out of my hands
Be assured we will not be ashamed
For a second there it all made sense
Standing naked so that they can see
All the scars inflicted
By the blade of my dreams
And I know that soon you will be happy again.
In my defense I never promised you the world
In my birth marks I've begun to decode my fate
I read the signs but got caught out by the hidden clues
Another second too late
