Lyrics
Vigil
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.
I know the way it makes you hide
Even when the dose is fight or flight
In the orbit's way for a perfect name
Clean out the whims you left behind
And if you want, I can bail him out
By the salt of sea, in an empty grave
The past has a way of coming clean
You fight it and know we better
I could've sworn you said there will come our day
For this reckoning
It's the vault and we'll wait
When it crushed all those atypical ways
Our last fall in and out of place
One day you're gonna see
That everybody claim that you will love have left
Because one by one they would disappear
Claiming our words were symptoms of the same
Don't let your tongue slit your throat
That's what they always said
There's one last chance that you gotta take
It's the vault and we'll wait
When it crushed all those atypical ways
Our last fall in and out of place
It's the vault and we'll wait
When it crushed all those atypical ways
Our last fall in and out of place
Underneath your doubt
Lay the serpentine
He's seen his way out
You were told
Sever ties
Can't follow to this because
It's the vault and we'll wait
When it crushed all those atypical ways
Our last fall in and out of place
It's the vault and we'll wait
When it crushed all those atypical ways
Our last fall in and out of place
I'll be with you
Say you will, say you will, say you will
I'll be with you, I'll be with you
Say you will, say you will
