Lyrics
Will O The Wisp
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.
When you're tired of waiting
And time is not on your side
When you're tired of hating me
You no longer want to hide
You're stuck to the failures of your life
Marred with the sorrows of your strife
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
When there's trouble admitting
That you have been wrong all along
When the words you have written down
Reads everything is gone
You're stuck to the failures of your life
Marred with the sorrows of your strife
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
And time it waits for no one
It heals them when you die
And soon you are forgotten
A whisper within a sigh
When you smother your friendships
And take much more than you need
When you can't keep a secret to yourself
And points to the source of the deed
You're stuck to the failures of your life
Marred with the sorrows of your strife
And you can never find the satisfaction
When you can't outgrow your false distractions
You know your soul is weighed
On the silver scale of deceit and lies
