Self-Torture
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.
I knew this one girl
Drowned in her own curls
Candy colored swirls
That never seemed to end
I could not comprehend
Half what she said to me
So casually
All our tender ears would bend
Tales of ritual self-torture
She's making you abort your
Most carefully laid plans
To make a final stand
Rest the world to hand
Scoreless victory for serendipity
