Lyrics
Popinjay
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.
It's just a world apart, you said
It's like nothing you've seen, this place
The fiction's given, the ending bled
Into a space across your page
Why did it wrap you like
Morning fog chokes the trees
Believed it will - there's something bigger than you know
Are you waiting on me?
Hold you deep and lonely
The centre's here, you fill, you own it
Popinjay
Just say the word, and see clearly
We can stain/stay in time if we lose the beginning
The crooked leaves for favours dealt
The scared and greedy in the storm
Onto forgotten trust
Onto forgetting us
Hold you deep and lonely
The centre's here, you fill, you own it
Popinjay
Just say the word, and see clearly
We can stain/stay in time if we lose the beginning
Of a start
It's better than a fall
It's better than not starting at all
It's just a world apart, you said
It's the pillars of your heart
That leave you lonely
It's the pillars of your heart
That lead to loneliness
