Swallow
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.
Twisting slowly up the walk
I want to get there so quickly
but my body is not doing

and I feel a certain panic
flowing through me... in waves
won't you listen
listen to me
won't you listen
can't you see
let me in
I've come (for/from) mother
let me in
for (------?)
