Going Under
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.
This takes us by surprise I'm sure
Are you the curse? are you the cure?
Sometimes you know you ask too much
Been getting good at giving up
This ship is going under, going under, going under
This ship is going under, going under, going under
Cast off, but hit the ocean floor
Misguided thread, he'll want your pores
I see you there upon a bluff
You disappear a tiny dot
This ship is going under, going under, going under
This ship is going under, going under, going under
This ship is going under, going under, going under
This ship is going under, going under, going under
Misplace my heart, misplace my hope
Im here without it
Contained at home to all the brave
And bold who found it
To know you still, I hold you in, I hope you know, I only begin
I hope you will, doing it once, I know you will, I've only begun
Give all my things, to all my enemy's are grounded
I make amends, I gave it up, I hope you found it
I see you still, I hold you in, I hope you know, I only begin
To all of them, doing it once, I hope you know, I've only begun
Oh
To all the gold, my hands are up, I hide my plunder
Goodbye to everyone I know, were going under
I see you still, I hold you in, I hope you know, I only begin
To all of them, doing it once, I hope you know, I've only begun
Oh
