The High Heat
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.
She wants to die
Like people do
Shallow clicking
Summer or sickening
In that room
High in the heat
A white-hot beehive
Well, she was doomed
She has a wind
To offer the sky
She couldn't stop sinking
She thought she wasn't thinking
She wanted to die
She wants to live
Like people do
She feels like giving
It all away
All to you
