Scalpel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Road narrows, pouring down
I'm breaking without a sound
Bits and pieces of trying
Get what you pay for, nothing
Frozen, dreaming of yesterday
Potent, creeping, I'm far away
From my hometown, I lit out
To save my skin and shed some doubt
I know how false the floor
How high the sky
Been down that road before
It's a lie, you hide in someone else
Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself
Hard as truth is, been my friend
Don't need to be invited in
I'll go round 'til bested
Pick up myself and try again
I know how false the floor
How high the sky
Been down that road before
It's a lie, you hide in someone else
Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself
All comes in time
Don't fight it, don't mind it
Whatever may come
I know how false the floor
How high the sky
Been down that road before
It's a lie, you hide in someone else
Like a shining scalpel, cut yourself
