Perception
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 was so lost in the dark
We were so lost in the dark
Buried away, yeah
Silently lust for the ark
Violently lust for the ark
Afraid to stay, here
Where are you
Where are you
Cause I’m so sick of running from myself
What do I want from me
I crucify the unwilling attempt
What do I want from me
So long
I was so lost in the dark
We were so lost in the dark
Afraid to stay, here
Run so far
Far from the darkness
To the stars
Up where your heart is
Don’t go far
Or you’ll be lost in light
Cause I’m so sick of running from myself
What do I want from me
I crucify the unwilling attempt
What do I want from me
Where are you
Cause I’ve been down again
Where are you
Cause I’ve been drowning in
Where are you
Cause I’ve been down again
Where are you
Cause I’ve been drowning in
Your shoes
For so long
Cause I’m so sick of running from myself
What do I want from me
I crucify the unwilling attempt
What do I want from me
For so long
I’ve run so far away from myself
