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.
Sometimes i have to run
To think it all becomes way too much
All the things i want and need in life
Seem like the things i never
I never ever touch
I don't deserve the best
The best i will settle will
Revolve with all the rest is rest
And i will sleep my days away
While the others will trust
I try my best
And then it comes to me
My thoughts were all
Were all inside my head
I control my destiny
Until i'm lying
I'm lying
I'm lying
Alone in bed
I raise my head to feel and try
I try to squeeze out a scene from thoughts
But then i fall
I fall asleep
And dream about before
Before i was caught
Before i was caught
Before i was caught
Before i was caught
Before i was caught
Before i was caught
