Lyrics
The Tempest
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.
Saw you the other day
Looking so undermined
Acting like it wouldn't happen
Making sense of anything that you could find
Because it's just about to happen
And you'll be there
You must have known the storm was coming
When clouds appeared
May as well let the rain come down
And join the circus of people
While you're there
Something is changing
Bruising and taken
And I'm trying to find out what it is
When I fix her
She's breaking
Reason keeps escaping me
Protect him, and build him like a cyst
I know that I can help you
I just don't fucking want to
And the feeling gets stronger by the day
You say that I'm selfish
But I know you need this
And I'm just so sick of the chase
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running, don't shake the ground
I will be setting myself alight
Too late, you dropped the drawbridge
You let the vampires in
You caused this shit to happen, and now you want out?
Too late, you dropped the drawbridge
You let the vampires in
I hope you know that that is nobody's fault but yours
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running, don't shake the ground
I will be setting myself alight
