Lyrics
Alpha
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.
It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you'll never have
It's a goddamn broken state of mind
The one that we've been living in
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave what little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It's envy eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you never have
Isn't it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we need
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave what little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
(Show them that we're not blind)
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Fly passed the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
(Separating, drive me crazy, separating mind)
Fly passed the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
(Separating, drive me crazy, separating mind)
This want is menacing it will not leave us be
Can we purge this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?
How did we get like this?
(Can we purge this?)
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our, Feel life in our veins
(How did we get like this?
Can we purge this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?)
