Lyrics
Soma
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.
Soma is what they would take when
Hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing against sunbeams
Losing against their dreams
In your eyes
And I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
See, I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
Let's go
When I saw her for the first time
Lips moved as her eyes closed
Heard something in his voice
And I'll be there, he says
Then he walks out
Somehow he was trying
Too hard to be like them
And I am
Stop
And go
In your eyes
And I am
Stop
Oh, darling, let me go
Tried it once and they like it
And tried to hide it
Says: I've been doing this twenty five years
Well, I'm not listening no more
And these friends they keep asking for more
Oh yeah, oh, but that's it
