The Beltsville Crucible
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.
True friends stab you in the front
keep you from getting what you want
when one more fix could kill you
they help you realize that
you're more and less than you first had believed
you've so much to give and there's so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn,
all that's gold does not all shine...
and helping words aren't always kind,
when one more kiss could kill you,
they help you realize that
you're more and less than you first had believed
you've so much to give and there's so much you need
shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe
three thousand miles just to learn.
.how to let my guard down
accept the fire that has spread among us.
and if you're feeling all right,
you've got to play it again,
you've got to play it again.
