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.
She casts a spell when the voices are humming
Looks like the wind is slowing down
So it's dark again and here lies your promise
The one that is breaking with my heart
I'm sick now, so tie another tag onto this memory
And I can't find a reason why I'm
Belly up and straining to see
Poor little girl, can you stand alone if your
Belly up and straining to see
Slow moving life, in another perfect illness
But I can't force this seed to grow
So it's dark again and here lies your promise
The one that is breaking with my heart
