Lyrics

Sonic

[Verse 1]

Illustrate and beautify

This one time painting is sinking so fast

What you need is someone like me

These weeks are too long

You're drifting too far out

[Chorus]

I know where this one belongs

There's truth in all I see

I don't know where money goes

Think about it

[Verse 2]

I know some things are better left

To die in a coma along with the builders

What you need is someone like me

I can throw out what's buried inside here

[Chorus]

I know where this one belongs

There's truth in all I see

I don't know where money goes

Think about it

[Verse 3]

I know some things are better left

To die in a coma along with the builders

What you need is someone like me

I can throw out what's buried inside here

[Chorus]

I know where this one belongs

There's truth in all I see

I don't know where money goes

Think about it

Think about it

Think about it

Think about it
