Uneven & Brittle
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.
I stay away when you burn me like fire
I'm unmatched as i'm lazy, you spit as you say
I get crushed by my dreams that i clawed and begged for
It's myself i deceive
I got all i asked for
If i wait in deep sleep
There's nothing there to pray for
Uneven and brittle
Is there fruit on our tree?
Those altered dreams that i saw there now look back at us cracked
And loving care notions break as they retract
It's the morning here now, there's some peace, but no laughter
It's myself i deceive
I got all i asked for
If i wait in deep sleep
There's nothing there to pray for
Uneven and brittle
Is there fruit on our tree?
The spirit master from whom we spent
I sit now & see, all mine was pretence
Eh
Eh
It's myself i deceive
I got all i asked for
Uneven and brittle
Is there fruit on our tree?
It's myself i deceive
I got all i asked for
Uneven and brittle
Is there fruit on our tree?
