What Am I?
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.
What am I
When I'm not you and I?
When I'm the rain swell
Clouding the seaside
Invisible room with no elephant
Made out of tears to cry
Bull in a china shop thrashing inside of the gears
And the water is tears flooding in a room full of lies
What am I?
What am I?
What are we
When we're not you and me?
When it's not happening
When we're asleep at the movies
Canary in the coal mine
The poison is slow
Nobody dies
They forgot to let go
Under the Moon
What are we?
What are you?
What am I?
What am I?
What am I?
What am I?
What am I
When I'm not you and I?
When I'm the rain swell
Clouding the seaside
