Penholder
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 feel your eyes crawling over me
As though I am something more than me
But I don't have anything good enough to say
I did not make myself this way
I'll show you what he did,
But I won't take the credit
It's not mine anyway
I just held the pen that day
And I don't deserve this
This time right now
It's not something for which I can take the bow
And I don't deserve this
It wasn't me
I can't take glory for something that I can't be
I don't deserve this
I know what perfection is like
And I cannot stand before its might
And I'm so far from what you think that I must be
I just drown myself in mercy
I'll show you what he did,
But I won't take the credit
It's not mine anyway
I just held the pen that day
And I don't deserve this
This time right now
It's not something for which I can take the bow
And I don't deserve this
It wasn't me
I can't take glory for something that I can't be
I don't deserve this
This time right now
It's not something for which I can take the bow
And I don't deserve this
And all the art that I supposedly create
Is simply a faded reflection of something He's already made
