Before They Knew
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.
Were you holding father's hand?
Did your mother bleed
And Understand
How your whole lifes slipped away?
Fading under the grade
Did the world around you fail?
And were you hiding for us all to see?
Did the world around you fails
When it all came down on me
Is it dark within your mind?
Does your body ache for love sometimes?
Is it cold within your room?
Did you pray they'd come back for you?
Did the world around you fail?
When it all came down on me
The answer's
Always here
Beneath your skin
I'm not
Coming down
Does it feel like this?
Sometimes
When the world stops turning
Long before they knew
Does it feel like this?
Sometimes
When it all stops working
Now
Its alright we dont have to think about it
Its alright we dont have to talk about it
we dont have to think about it
we dont have to talk about it
it's all you ever need
The answer's
Always here
Beneath your skin
I'm not
Coming down
Does it feel like this?
Sometimes
When it all stops working
Long before they knew
Does it feel like this?
Sometimes
When the world stops turning around
Its all right
Its all right now
