Threads

Each time you fall a little further

Each time it builds a sliver inside

Each time it takes a little more courage

To get up again

It’s how it starts a tiny thread, a sliver in your mind

That pulls and pushes you, leaving you behind

Those icy threads, playing with your heart

Pulling at you from all sides, tearing you apart

How can I have so much

But nothing left to lose?

How come I feel like I've

So much to prove?

I said no one's getting in again

I said no more hurt or more pain

You said we really don't control it

Even if we think we do

Those velvet threads, familiar as a hand in glove

Each and every long embrace, every time you love

The outline of your smile, takes me drifting for a while

All the slivers in your eyes, dissolving underneath the skies

How can I have so much

But nothing left to lose?

How come I feel like I've

So much to prove?

Those tiny threads, slivers deep inside of you

Each and every long embrace, every time you love

They tremble and they quiver, and it feels like nothing else on Earth

Every time you give yourself, and every time you love

How can I have so much

But nothing left to lose?

How come I feel like I've

So much to prove?
