Lyrics
The Messenger
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.
Look around
Give your eyes a new adventure
What you see
Is a mix of past and future
Your moment is coming, now
Hold on, hold on
(bridge)
How you're gonna be when they tell the story
Everything we took was it from each other
Hold on, come on
(chorus)
It's too late to get around it
Say goodbye to how we found it
This is what we least expected
Don't you put the blame on the messenger
Hold on, hold on
I've seen the flames
That lick at survival
Check your dreams
Into the Justice Hotel
Your moment is coming
Hold on, hold on
(repeat bridge)
(repeat chorus)
