Runners of the Sun
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.
how
could I have seen them
their faces and distant lives
shells in the ocean
just a mark
laid on the map lines
to drown in the ocean's rise
or burn in a heat wave
this is why
I turned away
to slowly break
under the lashes
this is how
I learned a lie
that power breeds
regeneration
