Dvrk Wvrld
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.
The gate should open at my breath
I think I take too many
This one’s the last for a while
Walked across the oval with the sergeant bride
As the cracks in the parking lot stretched to divide
The snow came on
It was the first in a while
Couldn’t tell for sure if it was really real
Like a doctor you’re numb to even when he’s upon you
I wash my hands
Wash my hair, too
You gotta be clean and pretend
Like you wanna be clean
To pull through in a dark world
In a dark world
It’s cruel to be blatant to a life that you’ve thrown away
But there’s no use for patience with a barrel of snakes
I think I take too many
These are the last for a while
Walking ‘cross the threshold and he takes my hand
Said he’ll promise to like me if I stand in the light
Who’s got my bag?
Who’s got a bag for me?
Who stands in the corner and pays
With her marrow for her treats?
In a dark world
In a dark world
The gate should open at my breath
The gate should open at my breath
The gate should open when I say go
The gate should open at my breath (in a dark world)
The gate should open at my breath (in a dark world)
The gate should open at my breath (in a dark world)
I think I take too many
Walking through the doorway, but I’m halfway deep
A heartache that numbs you even when it coats you
