Speak To Me/Breathe
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've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years
Been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us
Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
For long you'll live and high you'll fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
For long you'll live and high you'll fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
