The Legend
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.
You've heard the story
Now it isn't true
About the legend
Where does that leave you
Looks like forever
Walks a crooked mile
I'll take my chances
I'll use the days
If darkness finds me
I can move sideways
This is the legend
This is foretold
But the ones we need to know
Are all shooting in the dark
I can't waste another day
Waiting for the world to change
If I turn my face away
Will I get myself away
You're out of chances
I'm out of time
We're out of answers the riddle
Doesn't rhyme
