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.
When I look at the edge
Oh it scares me.
Though I know I'll go,
always go back.
If there was somewhere to go,
my boat wasn't holed on the reef.
And my lack of belief
in the truth I am seeing...
To you I'll tie
my inner eye
which never, ever
ever lies.
Leave behind
to seek
and find
within
the things
you see.
