Lyrics
Book And a Cover
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.
What's that they told you
About a book and a cover?
Don't judge so quickly
Is it too much too remember?
Because pictures lie
You know
I'll show
It's so
Just give it one thought
What's that they taught you?
To revere a kind of beauty?
To paint on that pretty veneer
And try to hide whatever's dirty?
Well, faces lie
You'll see
No sympathy
Just give it one thought
