No Case Gain
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.
Someone's out on the wing of a plane and she's headed for a storm
Clap back, reach my jugular
Are you now succumbin' to the silver guilt? (clap back) you pad my cell
Come sit a spell and confess for a while
Digits speak to rosary-rotary-rosary coin slot confessional booths
You're soakin' in a clawfoot tub
With those multicolored defects from my past life crimes
I never wanna come back
Twistin' and squirmin' from the beneath the cold (the cold)
And if you never see me again, it'll be too soon
These are the choices that you lеave me with
Branded, I'm livеstock, no case gain
Hold me under, hold me under
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes long
Hold me under, hold me under
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes longer
Because my channel is phantom-bound (you can't have this)
See you wear the fracture just a little too well (you can't have this)
This is my new disintegration, I've committed myself (you can't have this)
I'm never gonna come back
Find it in your heart just to call it a loss (a loss)
And if you never see me again, it'll be too soon
These are the choices that you leave me with
Branded, I'm livestock, no case gain
Hold me under, hold me under (you can't have this)
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes longer (you can't have this)
Hold me under, hold me under (you can't have this)
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes longer (you can't have this)
Hold me under, hold me under (you can't have this)
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes longer
Hold me under, hold me under
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes longer
Hold me under, hold me under
You gotta hold me underwater for two minutes longer
