Lifelike
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 relate through the bloodline
When you can never take anything that I give
Always wanting to relate through me
I go watch you slowly slip away
You're wanting to put your trust in
When I can feel this remedy kickin on
Just to taste it, just to want it
And I can say it's not my fault
Say it's alright
When I'm coming down
Not again it's so lifelike
Come make it alright
When I'm coming down
Not again I'm fragile
Would you choose me or just abuse me?
When I can never take anything that you give
Always wanting to relate through me
I go watch you slowly slip away
You're wanting to put your trust in
When I can feel this remedy kickin on
Just to taste it, just to want it
And I can say it's not my fault
Say it's alright
When I'm coming down
Not again it's so lifelike
Come make it alright
When I'm coming down
Not again I'm fragile
You see I'll be the one in your darkest time
(It's not you, it's an excuse!)
(It's not my fault!)
Should I begin to erase myself?
I'm caught in this picture of you
Should I begin to assess myself?
Tell me it's over
It comes from above with these feelings
It takes you away and it buries your soul again
You're now blessed by ignorance
Cause you want to
So run with me if you must follow
I'll take you away to this place where we can be free
A place I call ecstasy
Now you lie alone
Your chance to stop and stare
God, I kiss your bones
And say it's not my fault
Say it's alright
When I'm coming down
Not again it's so lifelike
Come make it alright
When I'm coming down
Not again I'm fragile
Well you say it's alright
When I'm coming down
Not again it's so lifelike
Come make it alright
When I'm coming down
Not again I'm fragile
