Victim of the Crime
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.
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Lost illusions, try the best that you can do
You might get another chance
Burn my leather coat, i need to change my suit
You don't listen to a single word i say
Lies + hidden codes = what they do
And you're the victim of the crime
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Gettin' ready for a basic interview
They told me not to cross the line
I lost the evidence, i'm running out of clues
That much i would have sacrificed
Lies + hidden codes = what they do
And you're the victim of the crime
There're too many fingers on the trigger
Guess how to play this game before you lose it
There's nothing i can do about it
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Come, come
Dropping off the radar
Lately, i'm not expecting you
Please forgive me for stuff i didn't do
I sure was gonna
You're starting to fall...
Fall in a deeper state...
Watch out
