Mistake
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.
As I sift and drift through bullshit
That plagues from day to day
Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
I'm over the wall
Over the hill
Over at your place
I'm over the safeties
Over the phone calls
Over the rage
What a mistake
When you've lost the stones to throw
The ones I found to make a fire
And all the lonely souls that say so get fired
I'm over the wall
Over the hill
Over at your place
I'm over the safeties
Over the phone calls
Over the rage
What a mistake
Uuh uuh uuh ooh ooh ooh
Uuh uuh uuh ooh ooh ooh
What a mistake
What a mistake
What a mistake
What a mistake
And I've never been lost
I've never been found
And it make no difference, if I'm around
There's never been words, never been actions
Never made promises I never kept
I'm over the wall
Over the hill
Over at your place (I just can't seem to get out of this)
I'm over the safeties (Pulling on)
Over the phone calls (And I'm always pulling on)
Over the rage (And I'm always pulling on a thread and I'm always)
What a mistake
A mistake
As I sift and drift through bullshit
That plagues from day to day
Would you ever really notice I've gone away?
