Dear Worldling Under Fire (Day 20) Lyrics

                               "it helps me to imagine I'm still alive"
                                              -Jean Rhys

                                           "So the heart breaks
                                           Into small shadows"
                                                  -J. Spicer

                                    "doves exist, dreamers, and dolls
                                  killers exist, and doves, and doves;
                                        haze, dioxin, and days; days
                                   exist, days and death; and poems
                                      exist; poems, days, and death"
                                                  -I. Christensen

                                         Dear Worldling Under Fire

                                     where a new ocean is forming
                                             imagine a continent
                                                  i tried to quit
                                         six seeds summer side
                                   walked dark version a splitting
                                      told mother about a break
                                   line the copse in devil's tongue
                                          temporal experiment
                                 don't believe a girl who wanders
                                         isn't asking to be cut

                                         there is consumption
                                  there is every waking minute
                                    you can't go deep enough
                                             or write it out
                                      years enough to ever
                                            make it stop
                                         you gloss & mute
                              a gushing wipes the slate clean
                                     wonder these waters

                                how we witness their ending

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 [?]
