By Design
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.
There is a ghost following me
Staring me down and it's eating away at everything
I could not notice, currency paid
Too much now I am seeing right through, seeing right through
Diamonds will shine, women will glow
Our lines are crossed now, we're miles away from everything
How could we notice, when currency paid?
Too much now, we own it back own it back
We leave behind, we leave behind
All the 'you and I's'
We burn the fields for room to grow it's by design
We leave behind all the desperate 'you and I's'
We burn the bridges back to you it's by design
I've seen this before
Skeleton keep our locks at every door
Hinged on swollen frames
And completely wood floors
The house will fall
Collapsing into itself
Now a fire burns
And it's turning me on, it's turning me on
We leave behind, we leave behind
All the 'you and I's'
We burn the fields for room to grow it's by design
We leave behing all the 'you and I's'
We burn the bridges back to you it's by design
Oh it's by design
