Reason
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.
As I look in to this old mirror
I see my reflection staring back at me
Who is this man I see before me
Why am I so afraid of what I see?
Please give me reason to live
Please give me reason to breath
Please give me reason to live
Please give me reason to breath
A dead man walking and a dead man talking I am
Full of imperfection and full of sin
How did I become like, like this?
Maybe, just maybe it always has been
Please give me reason to live
Please give me reason to breath
Please give me reason to live
Please give me reason to breath
