Returning Empty Handed
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.
How peaceful it feels against my face
Oh, what a long haul
You brought me here for this
I see nothing but disaster
Now I'm taking you with me
A transparent scenery that comes as fast as it leaves
Now my eyes flash with white
It's settling in with all the flickering
Here again
The floor is more fitting for my face
Here again? This is getting old
I am being watched
This is overwhelming
Paranoia…
As you dig your feet in I will sink my teeth in the floor,
While I lay here alone
As the light begins to breach the border,
While I lay here alone
Aware of every step
I'm not aware at all
Black… flash white … I am awake
