Lyrics
Something For Myself
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.
Trapped within an image
unable to move
Want to get out of Folk
and get into Rare Groove
Want to go to Brazil
and see how the people move, in that town
Want some expression
need to get a new length
It might sound flitty
need to get a new strength
Go to a new country
where you don't know it's length, think I'll go
Raised in the Depression
suspicious of what is new
Told not to pick at
society's glue
Think I'll sniff it
That's what I'll do, for myself
