The Shake
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.
Oh the brilliant mistakes that you seem to make always push me away
And now you're stepping on my feet,
Stepping on my feet
'Cause you were never on my side
So I'll throw my thoughts into the sea
Where no one will ever find
And your marvelous episodes of pain
Will very soon be mine
I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't believe
You say your mind is a terrible thing to waste
What good is mine if I'm locked up in a cage?
I was hoping you could help me out of here
So I could finally disappear
I'll throw my thoughts into the sea
Where no one will ever find
I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't seem to
I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't believe
And no I can't seem to shake
This awful feeling
So I'll throw my thoughts into the sea
Where no one will ever find
And your marvelous episodes of pain
Will very soon be mine
I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't seem to
I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't believe
And I can't believe
