Trigger Cut
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.
Lies and betrayals
Fruit-covered nails
Electricity and lust won't break the door
I've got a heavy coat- it's filled with rocks and sand
And if i lose it i'll be comin' back today
(i've got a message for you)
i'll be comin' back today
(i keep it in my hand)
you know i'm comin' back one day
(i've got a sister or two)
and i'll be comin' back today
ex-magician, still knows the tricks
tricks are everything to me
until it's free- i've got a trigger cut
and i can't pull it back
but if i learn how i'll be coming back today
(i've got a message for you)
i'll be coming back today
(i keep it in my hand)
you just look at me and say
(i've got a sister or two)
you know i wish you went away
i learned the truth
the truth of the words
truth i made for you
because it's just as good
and if i spit it out
before i chew the ring
i'll rearrange it
'til it looks just right today
(i've got a message for you)
and i'll be comin' back back my way
(i keep it in my hand)
you will look at me and say
(i've got a sister or two)
you just wish i went away
