Lyrics
Umbra
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.
Paint me in your own way
Colour my eyes, see what feelings I hide
No one knows why, no one can forgive
Second thought, why do I care
I'll hide from subtleties while
I try to face my kind
And you call this feeling
It's not enough, come again another day
Now that my world feels out of place
I'll follow you home
Wake me with a bottle cross the head
I'll sleep till it's over and I'm sober again
Safe, well I don't feel so safe here
Imagine that everything's affected by a cause
In this game you call luck (there's nowhere to go)
Well I don't feel so lucky no (lie to yourself)
And just when I think I've worked it out
These pieces move and I'm back to the start
Wake me with a bottle cross the head
I'll sleep till it's over and I'm sober again
Hey, it's nothing that you'd understand
I promised you: baby, always
Do you think it matters (here I will stand)
Do you think at all (here I will fall)
Do we complicate it (organised recovery)
Do we know it all (I'll always go)
I don't want to (here I will stand)
I just have to (here I will fall)
I don't need it (organised recovery)
I just want it (I'll always go)
And lay this troubled sinner
With a gun in your hand
Now you live for no one
Knowing what you held in your arm
Wasted promise
Set in stone and blood
Hold your promise
Save your cheap remarks
Just leave me here alone
