Ys Lyrics
The fog's so grey, it's almost black
I lost my way in here and I can't seem to get it back
It's such a drag, day or night
And though I try my best I just can't seem to get it right
The sky split apart and a star fell to the ground
Light a candle on it and burn this sucker down
It's hard to breathe, and that's a fact
I know there's air in here, I just can't seem to get it
The words come apart like razor blades in my mouth
Cut my tongue upon it, and let that fucker out
[Chorus]
I've felt defeated, but I'm not, oh no no
Gonna tear through the ceiling, better look out, watch me go
I bet it all works out, somehow it always does
We're sure there's a meaning, there's always one
Look out
The world broke apart, and we sang to that sinking sound
Can't put my finger on it, it means everything to me now
[Chorus]
I've felt defeated, but I'm not, oh no no
Gonna tear through the ceiling, better look out, watch me go
I bet it all works out, somehow it always does
We're sure there's a meaning, there's always one
