Lyrics
Lick The Palm Of The Burning Handshake
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'm the only one that sticks around
When they call your name out of a crowd
And you say you don't hurt when I'm going alone
And you know it don't hurt but I keep it strong
So I don't try to go
I just run and you know
The need to know it takes you over
The need to grow it takes you under
It fails to keep in all resistance, to the listened
Again and again, it takes you over
Again and again, it takes you over
I'm the only one that makes a sound
When I know the plane is going down
And you say you don't see the red in my eyes
Do you really want to bring this fire outside
I don't want you to know
Close my eyes, I'll never show
The need to know it takes you over
The need to grow it takes you under
It fails to keep in all resistance, to the listened
Again and again, it takes you over
Again and again, it takes you over
I’m the one you need
I’m not the one you need
