Crooked Lines
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.
Underneath the lightfields
Near a wall of water
You can put your head down here
Forget all you fought for
Gotta learn to give
Gotta learn to live
Crooked lines
See the day reappearing
Bright light like butter
You can say we're faking
Athens or Sparta
Gotta learn to give
Gotta learn to live
Gotta learn to breathe
Gotta learn to leave
Crooked lines
