Operate
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'm really close you see
Feel it breathing
In my living heart
I see you going for a life that's cruising
Waste at smart
I really do
I really want it, but is it here?
I love you anyway true
No flickers
Listen, they'll disappear
Separate the scenes and the hints that make it
Operate in a sane way all start to fall apart
Sitting in day after day is not a good way
After all
And i just want to go home
Dreams are made of this
But they're
Over there
I know you sent me here
To peel away your fear
Operate the groove
I need a reason
For being here
Your crazy ways
Are in my ear
...and i just want to go
