Lyrics
In Your Wake
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.
And so it seems,
you were to be king for a day,
don't let your dreams,
of blood hunger in the way,
you know these streets,
they lay there patiently awaiting your fall,
like a phone call...
And now it seems,
you've made all the right decisions,
i believe,
your headstone recieved the wrong inscription,
didn't read anything about how much we missed you at all,
so with a broken stick and dirt we scrawl
'Here lies, our dreams come true,
here lies Xs for eyes on me and you'
Want you to know i hope you got all you wanted,
want you to know that i took all i can take,
it's been so hard to see and breathe through all the smoke left in your wake,
in your wake
And now i see,
you made all the right decisions,
i believe,
your headstone recieved the wrong inscription,
didn't read anything about how much we missed you at all,
with a broken stick and dirt we scrawl
'Here lies, our dreams come true,
here lies Xs for eyes on me and you'
Want you to know i hope you got all you wanted,
want you to know that i took all i can take,
it's been so hard to see and breathe through all the smoke left in your wake,
in your wake
in your wake
in your wake
