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 don't know what's behind that veil i ask questions to no avail
I don't know why there's empty shelves empty books and silent bells
Chorus
I don't know, i don't know, i don't know, i don't know
I don't know why it's not enough to feel moments of mighty love
I can't think why i'm not fulfilled i don't know why my heart is chilled
Chorus
I don't know why i'm all alone fingers stuck to a telephone
Photographs of you and me i don't know these people i see
Chorus
Balls bouncing down deserted streets shadows boxing on empty seats
I don't know why it's not enough to feel moments of mighty love
