Tyrant Destroyed
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 you spent some time
From the town to the city
Looking for a life to start
And when you were fifteen
I know what you said
"I'd never let another black boy break my heart"
You waited a decade
For me to come find you
There's never been a chance around
I was just stumbling out of
A prosthetic love
And never been someone so real
This world is
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destroyed
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destroyed
As you sat sinking in my head
As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak
They had to give you lips like that
Like all of your sadness reduced to a color
Then painted upon
How could I forget you
And who was I to think that on a Saturday night
That you would really bike home alone
And the way that I left you
Just hanging on Sundays
And fair skin boy take you home
This world is
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destroyed
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destroyed
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destroyed
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destroyed
As you sat sinking in my head
