Pox
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.
another dumb kid (shut up)
another restless bitch (still fucked)
another magic trick (not a sound)
forget to forget you're so far
you're getting close to my heart
the pox, the pox
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
(another plastic squeeze, sunkissed...)
another favorite squeeze (i lost again)
we do as we please (but what with?)
i choose to forget just how close we really are
next to me
the pox, the pox
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
i know i'm right, i can't be wrong
put up your dukes, you're not so strong
every angel sleeps somewhere
every angel dreams of sometime
every angel walks with me now
every angel kiss that's left upon my bruised cheek
a (gazillion) strong (bleed)
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
we're giving back the dream
another dumb kid (shut up)
another dumb kid (i shot him)
another dumb kid (he shot him)
even angels sleep sometime
