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 crush the world I was in

I'll destroy the world I will find

I'll work the tools with my hands

I'll stick the needles in my eyes

And in my celebrations

You were by my side

And now I'm going down

And through the complications

Something inside me died

And now I'm going down

Bring down the sky with my tears

Dig up the earth with my hands

Take a look inside of my head

And maybe then you could understand

And in my celebrations

You were by my side

And now I'm going down

And through the complications

Something inside me died

And now I'm going down

So long I get my friend back

I guess it's time I should let you know

Well, these things they come around

I guess it's just too hard to let them go

You wait around and while you never

Seem to find that faith in me

You close your eyes and smile

"Forever I will be"

Well, I know the way and I will go

I know the way and I will find

It's all around me and I told you so

All around in here, goodbye

And in my celebrations

You were by my side

And now I'm going down

And through the complications

Something inside me died

And now I'm going down

And all the big decisions we never could decide

And now I'm going down

And in my celebrations

You were by my side

And now I'm going down
