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.

I don’t know the difference between love and sorrow.

My optimist opinion for the brave new world we’re searching for.

But i’ll stand here holding your head under water.

&& as you slip away.

Please remember this, i’ve always hated you.

I don’t know the difference between lies and chivalry.

&& you’re blood red cold.

&& the brave new world was gone.

But i’m still standing here watching you die.

Wishing your torment would last.

& as you slip away.

Remember i’ve always hated you.

It pains me not to see you cry,

In fact i am overjoyed watching your pain.

It pains me not to see you there…

Begging….

For your miserable life to be saved.

The fact is i feel nothing, more than i’ve ever felt before.

&& i feel no shame at all.

Love and sorrow.

Useless and absurd.

&& for a dead man we have long observed.

I’m still standing here holding your lifeless corpse.

In one hand.

&& it’s time to bid our farewell.

It pains me not to see you cry,

In fact i am overjoyed watching your pain.

It pains me not to see you cry,

In fact i am overjoyed watching your pain.

It pains me not to see you there…

Begging….

For your miserable life to be saved.

The fact is i feel nothing, more than i’ve ever felt before.

&& i feel no shame at all.
