Whirring Lyrics

[Intro]
This much delight
Fills columns to new heights
All these things about me you never can tell

[Verse 1]
Colours run prime
Paint a picture so bright
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend

[Hook]
Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words
I can see you staying here

[Verse 2]
Fierce steps shadow, Life's will gone shallow
All these things about me you never can tell
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend
You make me sleep so badly invisible friend
[Hook]
Turn the dial on my words
I can feel them fall short
Turn the dial, chime alarm, chime alarm
Watch these hands move apart
Turn the dial on my words
I can see you staying here

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 [?]
