Lyrics
Drowning By Numbers
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.
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such determination always tries to turn the tide.
Open up your arms, let me dive into the big, big blue.
Try losing this chromosome,It's my choosing down to the bone
Open up your heart, let me slip inside.
Such imagination always helps the feeling slide.
Open up your soul, folding back into, the big, big blue.
Try losing this chromosome,It's my choosing down to the bone.

Blood
Open up your heart let me slip inside.
Auto Flagellation allways helps the ghost to hide.
Open up your arms let me dive into the, big, big blue.
Try losing this chromosome, It's my choosing down to the bone.
