Lyrics
Soul Mining
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.
You're floating down a tunnel
In a little wooden box
You're cold and you're lonely
And enveloped in fog
You've been prised open
And left here to die
You should've trusted your instincts
Because they don't tell lies
Something always goes wrong
When things are going right
You've swallowed your pride
To quell the pain inside
Someone captured your heart
Like a thief in the night
And squeezed all the juice out
Until it ran dry
You've been read like an open book
Page by page
You'll never tell anyone
Your inner thoughts again
You were taken in by a heart of fool's gold
Now you're drifting in circles
In the depths of your soul
Something always goes wrong
When things are going right
You've swallowed your pride
To quell the pain inside
Someone captured your heart
Like a thief in the night
And squeezed all the juice out
Until it ran dry
