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 was calling around to find half an hour

She walked right into my mirror

Says she's here to waste time

I said "That's fine

Listen, to thyself be true"

To thyself be true

Every thread

Every hair re-arranged to resemble

You could help her

Detective daughter copy

Please don't be me

There are so many skirts under the table

None of these long legs are mine

She calls around finds me crying

Wish I were capable of lying sometimes

Hide Out

Love is hell, hell is love

Hell is asking to be loved

Hide out and then run when no one's looking

She's still calling around to find half an hour

She'll always have a place in my mirror

But she's got no more time, now she wants mine

But I'm all out too

To thyself be true

To thyself be true

To thyself be true
