Lyrics
Why I Stay
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.
This isn't wise they say
to force a line engraved
though we may come close
these things won't ever change
this is why i know
this is why i must go
and so the game is plagued
with the rituals we've made
i know we won't ever learn
these things they'll never change
this is why i stay
but this is why i must go
