Lyrics
Once Upon a Time In Mexico
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.
With fire in your heartbeat
And a chill within the words you speak
Come one come all back to reality
Trapped in an ocean of illusion
With no notion, only confusion
Within the shadow of the one who holds more than your thoughts
Trust you won’t see clearly
Every minute you waste is a minute you’ve lost
And you will never get it back
Every minute you waste is a minute you’ve lost
And you will never get it back
In a world under glass
You can watch the time pass
As the earth becomes an echo of what’s left outside
But the wind can blow cold
In the depths of your soul
And no one will find you in the place where you hide
You’ll be branded for the weak who follow
Your shame will lead your reign
And you’ll be back to where you started
Within the shadow of the one who holds more than your thoughts
Trust you won’t see clearly
Bounce
Let go
Let go of the fear that you’ve guarded
Cuz when i look in your eyes
I can see that you lied
And i knew it ever since we started
In a world under glass
You can watch the time pass
As the earth becomes an echo of what’s left outside
But the wind can blow cold
In the depths of your soul
And no one will find you in the place where you hide
And you will never get it back
You deceive
I won’t believe any word you say
I won’t obey
You deceive
I won’t believe any word you say
I won’t obey
In a world under glass
You can watch the time pass
As the earth becomes an echo of what’s left outside
But the wind can blow cold
In the depths of your soul
And no one will find you in the place where you hide
Let go
Let go
Let go of the fear that you’ve guarded
Cuz when i look in your eyes
I can see that you lied
And i knew it ever since we started
