Inside The Line
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.
Hey
You
You too
I could make the choice for you
Just sticks close to you, it's all around me
Everything I try to do
I can't even seem to find the room to move
But you think you're number one (hey)
Act as tho' them dinner's gone (you)
Carried in a room for one (you too)
Darkness when the lights are on
Turn me on for good, it's so exciting
Slogans on the wall don't need no underlining
I can't even seem to find the room to move
Tackles you in fantasy (hey)
Hoping for some time to breathe (you)
Some might get your corpse to easy (you too)
I just want some time to breathe
Just sticks close to you, it's all around me
Everything I do, they're always trying to crowd me
I can't even seem to find the room to move
Watching every move you make (hey)
Choice of one that's hard to take (you)
In fact it's just a big mistake (you too)
In fact they make it feel like you
Maggots swarm inside the line (hey)
Ready for the perfect crime (you)
Say you there is no right or wrong (you too)
I don't know what's right or wrong
I don't know what's right or wrong
