Insolence
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.
Sometimes i think i welcome in
What you are frightened of
My thoughts become undisciplined
And then i slip away
It is effortless, effortless
In the glow along the barren road
I see you shivering
My heart begins to separate
From a silence that would bury our lives
With an insolence
Insolence
Effortless, ranging and diving
Effortless as fire
Oh child
Where were you?
Where were you
All your life?
All your life
Inside a chrysalis, writhing
And it's real
And it's real
Joy, it's real
One more time
It's real
Joy, it's real
Joy, it's real
One more time
It's real
One more time
