Lyrics
Painted Shut
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 are screaming at me
Don't get me started
Saying you're gonna leave
That's just retarded
Leaving me all alone
To throw the party
To celebrate your fate
You are departed
It seems as though
Your mouth is closed
It's painted shut
With guilt
No more screaming at me
Don't get me started
No more saying you'll leave
That's just retarded
No more leaving alone
To throw the party
I'll just celebrate fate
You are departed
It seems as though
Your mouth is closed
It's painted shut
With guilt
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
It seems as though
Your mouth is closed
It's painted shut
With guilt
It seems as though
Your mouth is closed
It's painted shut
With guilt
