Excess Baggage
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.
Well I know the words
But I can't really speak them
to you
And I hide all the pain
That I've gained with my wisdom
from you
And I'm Eaten Alive
By What I hold inside
All the things that I live with
I can't easily hide
And I left here nothing
Nothing to live for
But you
It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
And I'll carry it with me
Till I'm not alive
And you look at my face
does it seem just as ugly
To you
I can't seem to erase
All the scars that I lived with
From you
I'm so sick of this place
And this taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can't figure
What I'm all about
And I'm left here with nothing
Nothing to live for
But you
It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
And I'll carry it with me
Till I'm not alive
