Lyrics
Elysium
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.
No one has said what the truth should be
And no one decided that I'd feel this way
If you felt as I did
Would you betray yourself
But you can't deny how i feel
And you can't decide for me
No one should fear what they cannot see
And no one's to blame its just hypocrisy
It's written in your eyes
And how I despise myself
But you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
And it's your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken
You'll never know
Your feathered sacred self
But you can't deny how i feel
And you can't decide for me
And you can't deny how i feel
And why should you decide for me
