Lyrics

Sailing Through

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.

Sailing through your disease and you

Your disease and you

Your body's like a basket

Shivering in static

Ride this phase of angry tears

All those years you were alive inside the closet

With nobody in it there but me

But now you are coming

Your life is off running

Tearing itself apart at the seams

And you are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie

You are a liar

You are a liar

Now I'm off sailing

Sickness impaling

Every drop of blood you could bleed

The world is all coming

They're coming in millions

Billions of people to sick to believe

And I really wanted just to be in your body

To be in your body

To be inside you

And I really wanted just to be in your body

To share in your sickness

To shield around you

But you are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie

You are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie

Wrap you up in master

Cover you in plaster

Spit in your mouth and then say "I love you"

But is this supposed to save us?

Is this supposed to break us

And I really wanted just to be in your body

I really want to be in your body

I really want to be inside you

And I really wanted just to be in your body

To share in your sickness

To shield around you

But you are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie

You are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie

You are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie

You are a liar

You are a liar

You are a liar

And you are a lie
