Lyrics
Open Book
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.
It all begins with a smile
Who is reading this?
Who is leading this?
'Cause I thought you should know that this is not an open book
(It's the cycle of five)
They read so much it tears them down
(And I know myself of course 'cause it's certifiable)
They're all around the kinder people like the Federman's Tale
And the people that are pushing in their cheeks
And I thought you should warn them that this is not an open book
(It's the cycle of five)
Don't read so much it tears you down
(And I know how strong the pull of what's fortified, make sense?)
You're all around, the kind of people like the prodigal heirs and their sons
And the people that are pushing in their cheeks
Tell me what you have, and that's when I'll know
If you have anything to start with
These are the fibers of what makes the world
Left are the fibrous ones who've met the world
Here with the favors done, left are the fibers of letting go
