You Built Your Life Upon the Ruins of Mine
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.
Damage is done heavenly one
Nowhere's safe from his grace
He says nothing's wrong with
Parental loving
And anyway that was ages ago
But one day you'll get married
To someone big and scary
A hairy monster of a man
Who'll make sure he's taken care of
'cause of burdens you've been carrying
Kill him off if you can
In the cellar you claimed the devil
Lived and nourished of our love
Hideout's found out,
Everything we cried about
Underground is finally overground
Out in the open
And at last you got married
To someone big and scary
A hairy monster of a man
Who'll make sure he's taken care of
'cause of burdens you've been carrying
Kill him off if you can
