Lightness

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.

There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress

And I'm sneaking glances

Looking for the patterns in static

They start to make sense the longer I'm at it

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest

Through every organ

Your brain is the dam

And I am the fish who can't reach the cord

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Oh, instincts are misleading

You shouldn't think what you're feeling

They don't tell you what you know you should want

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Oh, instincts are misleading

You shouldn't think what you're feeling

They don't tell you what you know you should want

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho
