Lyrics
Only Thing That Shines
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.
Night night, blow out the candle
Inside a blazing building
On a sacred mission
All the lights that twinkle
All the pens that sing
All the wishes that sink
Making up our minds
Up the wooden steps
Up into my heart
I know that you know this is all that matters
I feel our two young deaths so close now
Smiling soft and shiny
The blade is sharp and fine
It could just slit us open
And you know this is nothing special
With just one slip and we could lose ourselves forever
One time for all times
And you are the only thing that shines
Nowhere near, wading a lake of silence
Only say that word
And I will pour myself like wine
This is as much as I know, this is all they told me
Wicked shapes and lines taking us somewhere
And you know this is nothing special
With one slip and we could lose ourselves forever
One time for all times
And you are the only thing that shines
