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.
you get what you see
you're sad that you saw me completely
i thought you were looking through me
and now i'll never know
i don't look my best
but i might suit you better than the rest
if everything was surface
i'd be a brave man
i'd stand still, burning
light up, learning
but now, i'm just trying to salve my candles in
struck down again
there's a parliament of owls
flying over a city of canals
people taking pictures
of our star shooting down
you get what you see
some things they just change invisibly
i don't know where i'm going
i don't even want to know
stand still, burning
light up, learning
waiting for this needle spout to end
struck down again
sailing oceans
sick from motion
thinking of the times you reeled me in
strung out again
strung out again
strung out again
