Better
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.
there's no sense waiting in this state i've
realized too late there's only so much left
inside only so much space to hide i've
dreamed of castles in the air but i've
found out where i need a break or
a vacation before i give myself a scare
don't try to understand me your logic won't
command me don't try to read between my
mind if i could kill you with a
touch i'd never hate this much one thousand
colors every day but all i see is
grey my history is plagarized i feel desensitized
maybe one more shot of reason will ripple
this disguise i told that man just what
i thought of him so i'm right where
i am tied to this bed subconciously restrained
and now i wish i hadn't said what
i said to both of my parents because
i made my mother cry if they'd only
wait i'll make it up to them because
i can be a better man i'm floating
in a frozen sea i'll watch the morning
break giving way to shades of brown i
see the colors all around for once there's
no one here but me and my autumn
reverie and in my heart i know it's
as close as i'll ever be
