Awake
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.
Here they come
One by one singing
Dominos tumble forward
But why would I believe in you?
When lyin' is all you ever do
There they go
Soft and low singin'
Ebb and flow under water
But why whenever I call on you
Is cryin' all you ever do?
I'm awake in a flyin' dream
Higher than I've ever been
And I'm weightless
Spinnin' in the heart of a hurricane
And gettin' spat out again
But why would I believe in you
When lyin' is all you ever do?
I'm awake in a flyin' dream
Higher than I've ever been
And I'm weightless
Spinnin' in the heart of a hurricane
And gettin' spat out again
I'm awake hearing what you said
Hovering around my head
And I'm weightless
Spinnin' in the heart of a hurricane
And gettin' spat out again
I'll stick your pleasure and relieve your pain
Sweep you up and carry you away
Stick your pleasure and relieve your pain
Sweep you up and carry you away
Stick your pleasure and relieve your pain
Sweep you up and carry you away
Stick your pleasure and relieve your pain
