Take a Breath
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 can take all things you think i need
All i wear upon my sleeve
All the ways you perceive
I no longer need it
And i know what it means in black and white
God wanted me and that's why
You leave on the edge of sanity
There's not much left
Just take a breath
You play me out as mediocrity
Put to the test
Just take a breath
And me i just take things as they come
I stick around until it's done
And i'm not your chosen one
But can you admit it
And i know what it means in black and white
God wanted me and that's why
You leave on the edge of sanity
There's not much left
Just take a breath
You play me out as mediocrity
Put to the test
Just take a breath
You can take all the things you think i need
All the ways that you perceive
You leave on the edge of sanity
There's not much left
I just take a breath
You play me out as mediocrity
Put to the test
Just take a breath
I know what it means in black and white
I know what it means
