lyrics

Paper trails won’t let you down
Something thrilling for the hounds
Hatching segments of the crowd
Likened to a verbal prowl

An albatross is what you’ve found
Hanging heavy as a crown
All the signs were given out
And millions said:

Should've taken time to recognize the other
Don't always have a face but have a name
The more time goes on the harder to recover
Be gentle with yourself, breathe through the flames
