Stay

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.

you did the best that you could do

you were a great crew

who tried to nurture and preserve your faith in you

and with the bureau chiefs and the shrugging spies

you could stay but why?

you see a light and then another

and everything you fought for naught is uncovered

you're not a fighter, you're a lover

you got no business in here, brother

so stay, stay

is it the worst that you could do?

you were a great you

who tried to nurture and preserve your faith in you

and with the bureau chiefs and the shrugging spies

you could stay and why?

'cause you see a light and then another

everything you thought you sought is uncovered

you're a fighter and a lover

and there's no one up above her

so stay, stay

all things being balanced

it's balanced and called balancing

somewhere beyond everything

and it's being balanced not for the

sake of balance but balancing

between the throes of learning

and the entire thing

entirely

balancing
