Wish I Could Sleep
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 paint myself with the tiger stripes
To keep the foe at the bay
It doesn't trick the snake
I cannot win
I hate to be so helpless
But the darkness breaks my will
Wish I could sleep but the fear keeps me awake
Wish I could sleep but the fear keeps me awake
To kill the beast I cut them down
To mask the hate with a pain
It cannot hurt the enemy within
