Lyrics
Collapse
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.
Drown the stale
Owning stares
All around you, all around you
Let them crawl
Pull my hair
'Cause it hurts me, oh it hurts to let you in
In the citadel
Recall the pieces, the pieces
And it hurts me
Oh it hurts to let you in
In the dawn of my wake
In the calm of my state
Oh it hurts me, yes it hurts to let you in
But I won't make a sound
When the crowd comes to call
Oh 'cause it hurts me, yes it hurts to let you in
Yeah it hurts, oh it hurts to let you in
And I would be nothing
Yeah and I'd be nothing
Without your fear
'Cause I've got no war
The day it wears thin
And I've got no war
The day it goes away
Oh it hurts me, yes it hurts to let you in
Oh it kills me, oh and I don't want to give it in anymore
No I don't, no I don't want to give it in anymore
And I don't want to give it in anymore
No
