Lyrics
Zig
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.
How many laps does it take
To decide you’re back at the start?
Pace ‘er like a machine
Anachronistic with scissor kicking
No good at all
No good at all
No good
Push both components at the very same time
Now tighten the gear
You need both components at the very same time
Now tighten the gear here
What’s wrong with just playing possum, panting cot to co
And making life a stiller life by metrics?
It’s true that if you go inside you might never come out
What’s wrong with just playing possum, pawing tooth to root?
And when I’m sad, I burn for more extraction
It’s true that if I go inside I might never come out
That’s why we’ll go closely through
The woods, and trust me, completely
