Lyrics
The Battlecry
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.
(Can you turn it up?)
Let me lay my eyes and try to pin it down
Let me lay my eyes on the painting
It's hard to put into words, draw the line.
Forgetting all you wanted, you have to ask me for nothing
You're giving all you want, you have been asking for nothing
That's right I'm trying to find a way back
It doesn't mean anything to you.
It's so obvious at times we try and slide it good
(it's all right, it's all mine)
Oh to roll together everything we've built inside
But up I fall, and nothing, But up I fall, and nothing
Now you're holding them, and you can't say too much for me
Then what do you think? You've never made it taste that good
I'll be over soon, and you'll remember who showed you
