Lyrics
I Would Have Stolen You a Whole Orchestra
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 carry all your weight
Tightly stretched across your face
Like evidence or proof that everything aged you
I measured steady breaths
(afraid of truth, or of being rebuked)
"what horrible things cling to you?"
I did not expect to get an answer at all
Or for your to let your guard down
But either a ghost or a sigh escaped you
Your color fled, though your resistance would not be moved
You said, "when you have given so much, so little remains.
Like a wound that will never heal, all that's left is to wait"
