Lyrics
The Sound Of Music
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.
See my true reflection, cut off my own connections
I can see life getting harder
So sad is this sensation, reverse the situation
I can't see it getting better
I'll walk you through the heartbreak, show you all the outtakes
I can't see it getting higher
Systematically degraded, emotionally a scapegoat
I can't see it getting better
Perverse and unrealistic, try to make it all stick
I can't see it getting better
Hollow now, I'm burned out, all I need to break out
I can't see life getting higher
Love
Life
Makes you feel higher
Love and life
Makes you feel higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher
Love of life
Makes you feel higher
