The Day The World Went Away
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'd listen to the words he'd say
But in his voice I heard decay
The plastic face forced to portray
All the insides left cold and gray
There is a place that still remains
It eats the fear, it eats the pain
The sweetest price he'll have to pay
The day the whole world went away
Na na nah
Na na na nah
Na na nah
Na na na nah
