Lyrics
Midwest Island
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.
Whenever I try it feels like, the day is burning away
Peeling back my skin wanting to give in
Wanting to take this road straight back to nowhere again
Did you ever know I waited my whole life
Will you help my burn these street signs?
Waiting for a sunny Summer day
Did you ever know I held it all inside
It's pointless acting like you could understand
I'm doing the best I can to not give in
On this midwest island is a shipwreck
Where the walls have closed us in
Feeling like I can't wait to drive away from here
I feel like choking hands (of fear)
As they grab my neck (im scared)
But I'm not prepared to give up everything
You're taking my breath from me
You're asking too much from me
