Lyrics
Heatwave
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.
Shell of an engine, unexplained
Burst to fire engulfed in flames
Breathing exhaust, a heatwave mirage
Nothing to lose till everything's really gone
It's worse than death that life compressed
To fill a page in the Sunday paper
I had the shuddering thought
This was gonna make me late for work
Biting a chain, free like a lame
Oh, can you be healed?
Scratch my knees on the gravel
Say it's all part of the deal
Coverеd in scars a canyon deep
It's not like what I thought it'd be
The gruеsome beauty of your face in everyone I meet
I was on a long spiral down
Before I make it to the ground
I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck
And kick the chair out
On a long spiral down
Before I make it to the ground
I'll wrap Orion's belt around my neck
And kick the chair out
And I'll kick the chair out
Kick the chair out
