Calfskin Smack
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 have to follow my path/heart
Life, it, it just seems right, now
And when I had you
I didn't always want you, baby
I'd cry myself out
But you survived and this amased me
Stiv, stiv, God made it claw (?)
(Even into)
Call, call, calling to yourself
(Calling to find)
Then find anger's a part of me
(Anger's a cannibal)
You won, you'se flawless, little fell (?)
