High & Hurt
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 ain't ready for it
Still, take the throw
Life's a competition, don't you know
So shake 'em down now
They were born to be shaken
Each one's just another undertaking
Living life from the gutter up
Rattle with that unwashed cup
This portion's cooking for you
Shake them jackoffs on down
On a landslide overpouring
'Cross the edges of any brim
A pariah elbowing
As to come forth, just let me in
So there, you sign up but then desert
You pick a, pick a course just to divert
Break it on down
Avarice, the whitened smile, the all-forgiver
Welcomed with wide arms then pulled the trigger
It's a hungry want of flaw
A strike socked in the lower jaw
And then you're swept on through
Boohoo, go on crying babe
On a landslide overpouring
'Cross the edges of any brim
A pariah elbowing
As to come forth, just let me in
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, lord, by and by
There's another home awaiting
In the sky, lord, in the sky
So there, you go sign up but then desert
You pick a, pick a course just to divert
You get high
You get hurt
You get high
You get hurt
