Lyrics here! (I did my best, but it's a bit hard to hear them.) Face it, love You're gonna drag that rock around the rest of your life You're dancing on the edge of a knife Hoping someone else will decide I've been drinking the bottles Little do they know, the ship is gonna sink But i keep reaching for the shore, it never seems to get any closer Who's gonna keep the lights on? Who's gonna make it rain? Always looking for the next big ticket, always trying to stretch it one more day Who's gonna keep you happy? Who's gonna keep you sane? Calling out to an echo and just hoping for a different refrain Like a mad dog after a rabbit I keep on running, running, running And i don't feel like it gets me anywhere You know the kickback is automatic It keeps on coming, coming, coming Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there Face it, love You're gonna carry that rock around the rest of your life You're dancing on the edge of a knife Hoping someone else will decide I've been knocking down bottles Stepped on the cracks And losing my way home Keep looking for the end of the tunnel And it never seems to get any closer Who's gonna keep the lights on? Who's gonna make it rain? Always looking for the next big ticket, Always trying to strech it one more day Who's gonna make you happy? Who's gonna keep you sane? Calling out to an echo and just hoping for a different refrain Like a mad dog after a rabbit I keep on running, running, running And i don't feel like it gets me anywhere, anywhere You know the kickback is automatic It keeps on coming, coming, coming Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there Like a mad dog after a rabbit I keep on running, running, running And i don't feel like it gets me anywhere You know the kickback is automatic It keeps on coming, coming, coming Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there

Pretty sure it's "Little do they know, the ship is gonna sink" and "Calling out to an echo and just hoping for a different refrain"? Thank you for this though omg!!

[@HoneyZee312]

This is amazing, thank you! I do think it's "Who's gonna keep you sane?" because that rhymes better with 'refrain' but idk

[@Gremblythegunk]

[@ivymoths]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@zelmagaming3619 yeah i can't exactly tell what the lyrics are either lol but i was asking about it being like.. officially recorded n put on spotify n stuff yk? (which in hindsight was maybe a kinda silly question considering it being played live =/= it being ready to be 'out' but... yeah)

[@zelmagaming3619]
