A Dark Switch
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.
Your hands found a dark switch in me
That I, that I didn't know existed
The lost tribes in the back of my brain
Making fires from what they've stacked for years in secret
Don't give me more than I can handle
Don't give me more than I can take
Don't give me more than I can handle
Oh hell just give me all you've got in every way
This is not like it was before
Baby I'm not afraid
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
And you can see everything
Who knew when you brought me a storm
Who knew, who knew that I would like it
The small town of my mind as it was
Now a city, wreaking havoc, stretching endless
Don't give me more than I can handle
Don't give me more than I can take
Don't give me more than I can handle
Oh hell just give me all you've got in every way
This is not like it was before
Baby I'm not afraid
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
And you can see everything
It's not like it was before
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
It's not like it was before
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
This is not like it was before
Baby I'm not afraid
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
And you can see everything
This is not like it was before
Baby I'm not afraid
Some things fall when they're meant to fall
And you can see everything
