Lyrics
Everything We Take
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.
It takes forever while we're landing, it takes forever taking off.
We can't stop from falling, we can't allow ourselves to stay.
Freeze dried, tongue tied. Why can't we ever figure out?
No way, too late. They dish out everything we take.
It takes forever smelling roses, it takes even longer pulling thorns.
Scraped from the pavement, we can't allow ourselves to stay.
All you can do is stand up and turn the other way.
Push back get smacked. They dish out everything we take.
Swine don't think before they crush you.
Maiming destroying everything.
Everything... don't take more than you give never mind all those feelings.
Everyone... push up is all you'll do.
Never mind all those ceilings, kicking us when we're down.
All you can do is stand up and turn the other way.
Push back get smacked. They dish out everything we take.
Swine, don't think before they crush you.
Maiming destroying everything.
