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.
Exit wound sizzle with the regret
Unnoticed martyr
The taste of deceit's so faint
I'm stressed out, unfocused
Everything's hopeless
I'm all up in arms about these things
But it's not up to me
No, it's not that hard to erase
What you can't let go
Exit wound sizzle with the regret
Unnoticed martyr
The taste of deceit's so faint
The coast is clear
The coast is...
And if we gave it up tonight
Would you still stand by your pride?
And if we gave it up tonight
Tonight
Now
Line them all up
Teach us how to pray
Line them all up
Teach us how to lie
Line them all up
Teach us how to die
Teach us how to lie
And I cannot wait to get away
Tears bring the dawning of the same
And we've waited on our names
And it's not up to me
It's not up to me
Exit wound sizzle with the regret
Unnoticed martyr
The taste of deceit's so faint
The coast is clear
The coast is...
And if we gave it up tonight
Would you still stand by your pride?
And if we gave it up tonight
Tonight
And once our smiles are out of sight
Then that's greed's too large to fight
And once our smiles are out of sight
Of sight...
Of sight
