Milk Dies Lyrics

I’m alone all alone even when I’m
Not alone I like to think that I’m alone
It’s okay your love can’t save me anyway
You’re like a priest teaching the deaf to pray
Crumble down every statue in this town
I feel it now the darkness gathering like the clouds
Deep inside God bless the bullets flying by
I want to ride on the tears in your eyes

Chorus:

I cry at night
I’m laughing at the world too
But it’s alright
I’m dancing in it with you…
I cry at night
I’m laughing at the world too
But it’s alright
All because I want you…

Verse 2

It comes around every time I go downtown
Silent sounds, screeching and screaming round
Maybe you can feel it when I’m kissing you
The way it’s black, the way it winds away to blue
It’s all a bruise- artists call ‘em beauty marks
I see no beauty, just a painting bleeding in the park
So this is life: no heroes live through the night
And it all dies, everything you need in life…
Lyrics by Chuck Lightning

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

“Inspired by the torn knees in Kurt Cobain’s jeans; Weezer’s Blue Album; the sunshine in Pavement’s “Summer Babe”; and Brian Wilson eating an ice cream cone, while realizing that the summer is finally coming to an end.”
