Lyrics
Malediction
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.
So long
Good bye to the nervous apprehension
I certainly won't miss ya
My heart is unable to stay so unstable no more
Go now
Leave this place and if you do not know how
You'll learn along the way
The road to rejection is better than no road at all
If I see your negative shadow
I will lead it from the room
A media-sized headache is not enough to break it
If you've already assumed the malediction
Certain
Kinds of people that we like to know, yeah
And others gotta go
If you wait 'til you're ready, then you'll never make an amends
