Lyrics
If Not, For Ourselves
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 think you've just about lost, your sense of self, your foundations are crumbling down
I told you so, told you so
Don't be the one to say you know what's right
I told you so, told you so
Don't be the one to say you know my heart
Don't be torn from your roots, you won't live in this pursuit
You won't survive above this ground, it won't be long until you're home bound
Stop pretending
Drawing the lines you're not concerned about me, I'm losing confidence, why do you show no mercy 2x
These branches are burning, these branches won't pull me down, back to the ground, where I am standing, safe and sound
Who are you, to tell us who we are
Who are you, you're a fiend, you're a liar, and I will summon the hands of a fighter, and you will know, who we are 4x
You say you know who I am, you'll only bring me down, you'll only bring me down, you left me cold at home, to fight the foundation and the walls are crumbling down 2x
