RED THREAD

Verse 1

There’s a tether between us, invisible, old.
We’ve worn different faces in lifetimes before.
You pry to see, look through me,
Trying to understand
The part of me that you know you need,
But I, I can’t deny.

Chorus

Your gravity,
Pulling me down.
I see the remains, yet I won’t turn around.
Magnetic and dangerous,
Comfort and ache,
A host that gives to the damage it takes.

Wrap me up,
Lay me inside of this tomb.

Verse 2

I pull at the thread showing through your skin,
Yet fear is withholding, won’t let me in.
Holding onto fractured pieces,
Tight enough until I bleed.
Open for your dissection.
Can’t you just let me be?

Chorus

Your gravity,
Pulling me down.
I see the remains, yet I won’t turn around.
Magnetic and dangerous,
Comfort and ache,
A host that gives to the damage it takes.

Bridge

Do you see, do you see me as I am?
If the world stopped turning, would this thread lead you here?
If the world stopped turning, would you still see me clear?

Chorus

Your gravity,
Pulling me down.
I see the remains, yet I won’t turn around.
Magnetic and dangerous,
Comfort and ache,
A host that gives to the damage it takes.

Won’t let me be.
Do you see me clearly now?
