Spirit They've Vanished
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.
In this place
There's a wounded hand
Felt a chain
Where the links met up
Round a name
In the faceless age
Cursed and pained
And your windowpane
As the lake
From one hundred friends
Wave them home
As the childhood ends
Turn it fast
As one mild day steals
Someone's soul
Into 20 years
In spirit they've vanished
And I'll show you why
They'll make you take elderly paths by this time
If we would just dump it in the sea and fly
It's hard to just kiss our child games goodbye
