Sulfur
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.
My guilt and my shame
Always sell me short, always feel the same
And my face and my soul
Always wear me thin, always under control
But the longest hours you'll have in your life
Are the ones you sit, through to know if you're right
So I'll wait, but I pray that I'm wrong
Because I think I know what's goin' on
So let me get this straight, the only will is my own
I do what ever I want and stay alone
All my decisions make it untouchable and tainted
I'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life
But I always find a way to survive
I'm not a failure, but I know what its like
I can take it, or leave it, or die!
Stay, you don't always know where you stand
Till you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur
My life is undone, I'm a sinner to most, but a sage to some
And my gods are untrue, I'm probably wrong, but I'm better than you
And the longest hours I've had in my life
Were the ones I want through to know I was right
So I'm safe but I'm a little outside
I'm gonna laugh when I'm buried alive
Stay, you don't always know where you stand
Till you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
Stay, you don't always know where you stand
Till you know that you won't run away
There's something inside me that feels
Like breathing in sulfur
Like breathing in sulfur
