Lyrics
Oblique City
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 wanted out of the biblical bets
Oblique city, credentials
It's everything that I've ever known
Coca-cola's rosetta stone
Atlantis if I really find it
Velocity, potentially
Not the logic of the momentum
It's way more than tragic
I never knew what to do
To show you better than lonely
Am I gonna do this alone?
They're 50000 versus one
Am I gonna do it all?
Am I gonna do this alone?
Or will you join me versus wrong
Come on, come out and get me
I wanted odd, it was even and planned
Oblique city, potential
She's everything that I've ever won
Who wants the bronze, the silver, the gold?
Atlantis if I really find it
Complexity, essentially,
Not the logic of the momentum
It's way more than tragic
I never knew what to do
To show you better than lonely
Am I gonna do this alone?
They're 50000 versus one
Am I gonna do it all?
Am I gonna do this alone?
Or will you join me versus wrong
Come on, come out and get me
Coca-cola beaten-up bottles
Is there anything lost
Is there anything wrong with me?
Buried mayan numerals
Is there anything else
Is there anything more for me?
Or anything else for me
