Too Close To The Light
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.
They've all made you feel so safe
Brought us to an imagined place
A little warmer you'd have to say
A kinda quiet place to stay
Taught us how the wrong could be right
We've been all living too close to the light
Taught us how thw wrong can be right
We've been all living too close to the light
Ashes and sand all around you now
There ain't no way when there ain't no how
Like a lawman checking your ID
First thing you know you're a little less free
