Lyrics
I Built a Town
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 built a house behind my eyes
I sold a veil for you to hide
I grew flowers to cut
Towers to hold you high
But there was nothing I could do
To keep you inside
Alter of muse assimilate me
Sacrificed in perfect physique
I offer patterns and lands
Relearn the symmetry
Tear loose from the stitches and
Show me how you’re free
I collect shadows and save
Echoes so you can’t hear
Turn the soil swing the gate
Relent the binding fields
Dance slow through the hollows now
Go on disappear.
