I Watch You Sleep
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.
i will hang your smiles on hooks
break your fingers to hold my hand
lock you inside my picture of you
and keep it face down
i will know you like no one else
i will use your eyes to see myself
nobody else can know what you mean to me
our closeness will be legendary
our love will be hated
i'll take your tongue and make them see]your kisses drying on me
we are one -- for how long?
