Organs Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I am sorry this is always how it goes
The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed
But I never changed a single colour that I breathe
So you could have tried to take a closer look at me

[Verse 2]
I am tired of punching in the wind
I am tired of letting it all in
And I should eat you up and spit you right out
I should not care, but I don't know how

[Chorus]
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me of how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me of how it all went wrong


[Verse 3]
I am sorry for the trouble, I suppose
My blood runs red, but my body feels so cold
I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea
But in the end, the waves will discolour me

[Chorus]
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me of how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me of how it all went wrong

And I cough up my lungs
'Cause they remind me of how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
So I take off my face
'Cause it reminds me of how it all went wrong
And I pull out my tongue
'Cause it reminds me of how it all went wrong

And I cough up my lungs
'Cause they remind me of how it all went wrong
But I leave in my heart
'Cause I don't want to stay in the dark

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]
