Lyrics
A Commotion
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.
It flickered to light
It turned broke what was right
Got the roots by the hair
What was no longer there
It blocked out the sun
It climbed up the stairs
And then it slipped through the cracks
I wasn't watching my back
Ooo ooooh
A commotion
A commotion
A commotion
A commotion
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
It stalked through the rooms
And then it tore the sheets off the bed
It ripped the books off the shelf
It turned heaven to hell
It held me down tight
It took all my fight
It broke all the windows
It came flame from the kindle
A commotion
A commotion
A commotion
A commotion
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
If it rips you all apart, the grudge has still got your heart
The grudge has still got your heart
The grudge has still got your heart
The grudge has still got your heart
