Lyrics
The Measure
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.
So you want to know the difference
Between the broken and the lost
Between the voiceless and the muted
Between the payback and the cost
So you want to know the distance
Between the incomplete and made
Between the drowning and the drifting
Between the drowning and the saved
But oh I don't want to be your insight
Or your door or your key
I don't want to be the measure
Of your heart or your needs
So you want to know the distance
Between the boundless and the chained
And you want to know the difference
Between the taken and the gained
But oh I don't want to be your insight
Or your door or your key
I don't want to be the measure
Of your heart or your needs
Years go by awake at night
Goodbye
I don't want to the measure
No, I don't want to the be the measure
