Lyrics
Patterns
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.
Patterns all around you
patterns everywhere
patterns of behavior
sometimes seem unfair
can you recognize the patterns that you find?
Patterns unfamiliar
patterns lead you through (to)
patterns of discovery
tracing out the clues
can you recognize the patterns that you find?
stuck in your mind
In this land where stability is hard to find
you can rearrange the patterns so unkind
don't bother asking why a pattern never cries
old patterns never die they just go on and on
Patterns multiplying
re-direct our view
endless variations
make it all seem new
