Lyrics
Perish
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.
It was your palms and your feet
And every single thing between
We were an easy thing to do
I enthused over you
But melancholia
Insomnia
Saudade
They had me
It's hard to forget I'm looking back on a time
When every beat in your heart was beating for mine
You had the world at your feet
And you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart
And you didn't have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place to be for me
And when I'm better you can set me free
It's safe to say that you were mine
A songbird to a morning sunrise
How I miss my spotless mind
I lost it to the twilight
Much like our love
A songbird always flies without regret
And even after everything
We perished when the sun set
You had the world at your feet
And you kicked it back at me
I had a hole in my heart
And you didn't have the decency to wait and see
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Between the angels and infinity
There is a hideaway, a place for me
And only when I'm better you can set me free
Every blind spot, and every nicety
I learned about your heart
I watched them perish before me
