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.
Can't leave well enough alone
And that's there you call your own
Not for you, you'll change your fate
Manipulate to desecrate
You take all that's in your grasp
No one knows you wear your mask
I will fight while you will take
Manipulate to desecrate
I'll carry on
As if nothing's going on
Blood on my hands
I bleed. It's my only plan
I will stand tall
I will hold on. I won't fall
Going is slow
I won't give in. I won't let go
Catastrophic is your style
Selfishness I find so vile
Change the world with all your hate
Manipulate to desecrate
I've lost battles. You've won wars
I won't give in. I'm back for more
Lose this time is what you'll take
Manipulate to desecrate
Over now the scars are there
I can't tell whether you care
Sword of truth the dragon slain
Live the truth forgive the pain
Fought so hard exhausted now
To live again I'll find out how
Pressure gone and freedom gained
Live the truth forgive the pain
So nice now it's friends you say
But it's always been that way
With eye on you I'll do the same
Live the truth forgive the pain
Want this to be the last time
Got too close to lose my mind
Leave things be and we'll stay sane
Live the truth forgive the pain
The pain
