Lyrics
Brink of Collapse
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.
I say this, because of that sign
I can't say that word, because of Indian money
There's a light in their eyes, that I mistrust
And I can't leave you alone there are so many reasons
Tight hard shapes, meaning only one thing
You know it all mounts up, nothing left to inhabit
We stay quiet missing nothing at all
This is the real life story about to realise something
And I'm almost there, I'm almost ready
See the light shape in the sky
Feel the door's shape in a dark room
And I'm almost there, I'm almost ready
See the light shape in the sky
Feel the door's shape in a dark room
Quiet fears, for some of the time
Apparent resistance, push ahead with the worry
And I've said this before
A bad case of understanding
If I said this once I would have made excuses
And I'm almost there, I'm almost ready
See the light shape in the sky
Feel the door's shape in a dark room
And I'm almost there, I'm almost ready
See the light shape in the sky
Feel the door's shape in a dark room
And I'm almost there, I'm almost ready
See the light shape in the sky
Feel the door's shape in a dark room
And I'm almost there, I'm almost ready
See the light shape in the sky
Feel the door's shape in a dark room
