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.
Sorry eyes
and it's not like me
canonized like frozen faces on the walls
I would lie
but it's not like me
taking sides to bend or break the paper walls
all the people you let down
that you could bury underground
and get your mind back into hell
where it belongs
so I recover
so I have the time to shake it off
while we recover
we'd rather dust the nails beneath the boards
all the people you let down
that you could bury underground
and get your mind back into hell
where it belongs
and still we don't believe in it
we're taking steps to show we care
we're coming out
we're coming out
we're coming clean
and still we don't believe in it
the subtle hints, the sunny glare
the little pouts
all going in
and coming out
the everything's of left astrays
rotting losts of castaways
you were never so ambitious anyway
little lights where people go
fluorescent days, fluorescent glow
pieces put will fall apart
cases shut but never cause
little lights where people go
fluorescent days, fluorescent glow
pieces put will fall apart
cases shut but never cause
