You Painted Yourself In
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.
paint the floor back up in the corner
And when the floor is shiny and wet
You have no choice but to rise over
The painted trap that you have set
So place your foot up on the air
And climb upon that invisible stair
And when you rise into the wind
Remember that's exactly the place
You painted yourself in
You have no choice except but to fly
So fly on invisible wings
Until you reach your secret home
And when you lay your weary head down
Dream a dream of the suffering ward
You painted yourself in
You painted yourself in
You have no choice
Except but to fly
So fly on
Invisible light in your lover?s heart
Will show the way through the fire and furnace
And what once up is torn away
And what remains is a beautiful promise
You painted yourself in
You painted yourself in
You have no choice except but to fly
