Today
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 watched a bird flying through the air
I fell into a deep depression then
I don't know why but I can't compete
In the world today
I'm alone but I wish I could
I'm alone but I wish I could
I'm alone but I wish I could
Have you for my friend
I'm uninvited
I'm a perversion
Of a human being
I'm uninvited
I'm coming anyway
I found a picture of me at age five
In a town I can't recall
In a room with a shiny God
Watching over me
I'm alone but I wish I could
I'm alone but I wish I could
Have you for my friend
I'm uninvited
I'm a perversion
Of a human being
I'm uninvited
I'm coming anyway
I'm protected by everyone
I'm protected from everything
I don't know why but I can't compete
In the world today
