Chimera's Wreck

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.

A coat of arms is all we are

The slow decay, dying star

A sinkhole for the crawling of the hours

Afraid to be (afraid to be) what I should be (what I should be)

The sum of all (the sum of all), of new and old (of new and old)

Experience has made me none the wiser

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die, oh

(Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, doooo)

Chimera's wreck around my neck

To start again, to dream again

To fix the things that cursed me from the start

My father smiles (my father smiles); me, the child (me, the child)

Getting tired (getting tired), losing drive (losing drive)

The clarity that age has brought to me

[?] For tomorrow

[?] When the rain comes, we can still find any future in tomorrow

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die

Oh

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa

(Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo)

(Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo)

(Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo)

(Do, dododooo, dodododododooo, dododooo do doo)

These the things I did with my gifts

This the way I loved and I lived

These the things I did with my gifts

This the way I loved and I lived

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die, whoa

I'm afraid to be happy and I

Couldn't care less if I was to die

Wash up on the shore

Don't need you no more

Chimera wreck will slip into the bottle wreck

Wash up on the shore

Don't need you no more

Chimera wreck will slip into the bottle wreck

Wash up on the shore

Don't need you no more

Chimera wreck will slip into the bottle wreck
