Lyrics
The Looking Glass
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.
You can run, hide and beg for mercy
It's the only way to save your lady
The sharks are swimming in tanks
While you're walking the plank
It could take all night
But you've got to find the lamp light
Do everything you can
It's in the palm of your hand
This is me welcoming you
To the deep blue sea, a place where the tired
Meet in attempts to rest their bodies
We'll be fine if we can relax and close our eyes
And let the water we love
Find a home inside our lungs
"No no no? Ehis is so typical
You bare youself to the bone
To ensure yourself you'll catch a cold"
Just keep swimming your way
To your watery grave where your lack
Of faith will have you fucked beyond belief
You have to warn them
He said "I'm not who I said I am"
This is your destiny
You must keep everyone living
What goes through your mind
When you know you're going to die?
Especially when the same things
That provoke death also keep you alive
I just need a place where
I can get some sleep
When I look to my dreams for peace
I see awful things
