Sanction
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.
Bring on salvation
I have a way to find mine
I swallow light
And what if I move
Lapsing into failure
In the lowering night
In the lowering night
I had waited for you
Though I was certain you wouldn't come back
No
Into the after hours
Smudged my heart for all to see
But it's so quiet now
Makes it harder to shine
Had a dream about tomorrow
But with nothing more to think about
I fade out
Bring on sedation
I have waited a long time
And dragged myself a long way
There's a flight to medellin
Twelve hours of drinking gin
Awakened by summer
Sever the ties
That were once unyielding
Packed my money
Under night's neon curtain
