Oily Water
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.
Lead in me and me in water
Dangling in my world
I swallowed to much oily water
Now it's slipping down my spine
In a sense of self in decline
Growing fat on sound
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright
My head hurts with suspicion
I'm coming home sometime
I've swallowed too much oily water
It's slipping down my spine
A sense of self in decline
I'm lying on my back
It's only an early morning dream
And the whole world will be alright
