When I Awake
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.
In the driest place,
And we roll like rain
Give us a kind word
Take me by the hand,
Shake the night in two,
And a kiss to light our way
You are burned on my heart,
And I live to see you
When I awake you are there,
So burned inside of me
You are life and death to me
I've been brought out of the grave,
And you've kept us alive
We roll like rain
You are burned inside of me
We swim in the deepest red forever
Burned inside of me
It leaves me dead and poured out
So strong that we could shake the day in two
So strong that we could shake day to night
