Start a Life
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 dont know why
I even try to be simple
When all I find
Is everything complicated
When I left home
I found the holes in my pockets
My parents smiled
They didnt know I was frightened
Try to start a life
Try to make a point
Try to start a life, its harder than you think
As I shoved off
I took a good look behind me
My tether gone
A greater binding awaiting
Try to start a life
Try to make a point
Try to start a life, its harder than you think
Try to start a life
Try to make a point
Try to start a life
Thought I heard the shot
But I cannot tell
Think that I can run
But I cannot tell
Wish I had it made
But I cannot tell what I do not know
Still I press on
Into the ground I am keeping
With any luck
I hope to make an arrangement
Try to start a life
Try to make a point
Try to start a life, its harder than you think
Try to start a life
Try to make a point
Try to start a life, its harder than you think
Try to start a life
Try to start a life
Try to start a life
Try to start a life
