Chasm Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Break up already, wake up now
Walk away, take it all back now
Don't be quick to lick the scab off
You're spitting in his face with the rest of them
Break up already, wake up now
Walk away, take it all back now
Don't be quick to lick the scab off
Your spitting in his face with the rest of them

[Chorus]
Please give me something
I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty
Oh, please, let me warn them
Don't you come here
Don't bring anyone here


[Verse 2]
The chasm isn't fixed yet
Take this water
Drinking ever deeper
Living water

The chasm isn't fixed yet
Take this water
Drinking ever deeper
Living water

  • 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 [?]
