Lyrics
Cadmium
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.
A serious end
The serious air is calling
But look around
Look around
Isn't the atmosphere charming?
Chorus
Why do we ever go outside anymore?
The air in here is cadmium red
Why do we ever go outside anymore?
The air in here is fine
I let you live inside my lungs
You couldn't leave anyway
I'll build you up 'til you are strong
'til i can't breathe anyway
Hit the one that's self-destruct
It's marked especially
It's easy to read
We'll light one up and celebrate our disease
Chorus hit self-destruct
It's marked especially
It's easy to read
