SURVIVE
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.
all his saints apologized
apologized for their absence
when he needed them the most
saints were searching for excuses
but
the gun - drop - drop -
drop that silly gun ... they said
well, inside thinmgs can change
virgin thoughts set out on a walk
and visit you to fade away
we will survive
greeting cards from heaven
on that day
sacred farewell kisses
and absent saints
left notices said:
all or nothing
all or nothing.
and the rain drop - drop -
drops down on me
well, inside things can change
virgin thoughts set out on a walk
and visit us to wash away
we will survive
we will survive
I removed my life jacket.
we will survive
we will survive
