Sprained Ankle
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.
Wish I could write songs about anything other than death
I can't go to bed without drawing the red, shaving off breath
Each one so heavy, each one so cumbersome
Each one a lead weight hanging between my lung
Spilling my guts
Sweat on a microphone breaking my voice
Whenever I'm alone with you, can't talk
Isn't this weather nice? Sure you're okay?
Should I go somewhere else and hide my face?
Sprinter, learning to wait
Marathon runner, my ankles are sprained
Marathon runner, my ankles are sprained
