Lyrics
Copernicus
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.
Close the doors
if you want to seen her breathing again
Blur the days...
sleeping is just not an option
How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up until I find out
until I find what happened to you
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind...
You're not there...
I poke needles in the neck of a doll
She pokes back...
asking why can't I just let her lie
How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up until I find out
until I find what happened to you
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
holds a maximum vacancy
As I hold you in crippled bandages
don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind...
Don't let the days escape
what I did brings more of them
And we'll be waiting just for them
Over my dead body
over the search they lead
They won't find them anymore
[x2]
Now that I collect
From cells that we once shared
With multi headed union
Of multiple selves
The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
holds a maximum vacancy
As I hold you in crippled bandages
don't you stay up and wait for me
[x2]
Left dangling in the wind...
