Default Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It slipped my mind
And for a time
I felt completely free
A world of trouble
Silent double
A pawn unto a queen

[Chorus]
I laugh now
But later's not so easy
I've gotta stop
The will is strong
But the flesh is weak

I guess that's it
I've made my bed
And I'll lie in it


[Verse 2]
I'm still hanging on
Bird upon a wire
I fall between the waves
Ooooohhhhhhh
I avoid your gaze
I turn out of phase

A pawn unto a queen
Ooooohhhhhhh
[Chorus]
I laugh now
But later's not so easy
I've gotta stop
The will is strong
But the flesh is weak

I guess that's it
I've made my bed
And I'll lie in it

[Outro]
But it's eating me up
It's eating me up
It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)
It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)
It's eating me up (If I get free of all my snares and my nets)
Ooooohhhhhhh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
