Ribbons - Carina Round

The intensity in some of the lyrics in this song is amazing.  Also, it's interesting how the tempo and beat changes so much - and the repetition of certain words.

Ribbons

A devilish light - traps, defines my shape
Oh, you - are easier than me
Oh, me - envious, naked and strong
Envious, and different in time
What brings you back to me, again?
Again, oh
You touched my life this way
I don't know you

You said I was -
You said I was beautiful
And then you let everyone touch you
I don't know who

You say -

'Don't you know, I'm happy for your sake
Can't you see - it's easier for me?'

Everyone, everyone could tell me it's true
Everyone - everyone but me
What takes you - away from me - so soon?
So soon, so...
You're taking it all away
I don't know you

You said I was -
Oh, you said I was beautiful
And then you let everyone touch you
I don't know who

Come down
Down down ribbons
They're falling down
And they're loosening around my neck

And inside bloated seeds of silence...is you
The sound of beauty's song
A heart broken on jagged edge
A heart broken on your unkempt melody and face
My love, disentangle me
I don't know you
If you see me - unable to see...from miles away
The beauty of me...

I feel like I could be hanging on your door
I know I'll never have your soul
But say we will always be good friends
Say that you will always be
I feel like I could be hanging on your door
I know I'll never have your soul
But say we will always be good friends
Say that you will always be
I feel like I could be hanging on your door
I know I'll never have your soul
But say we'll always be good friends
Say that you will always be here
