Smiling Wretched eyelids hiding Trauma, mass despair From the fickle chords within your throat This carpet like gravel This consequential voice in our heads Passed down through generations And generations to come Your mouthpiece drip feeds you all Piece by piece your head will roll Held together by a thread Held together by a sinew Thread Pulling the strings Pushing limits I'm warning you now You can't stop this There's a dread on your own in the dark In the middle of the night It sounds false but it follows you everywhere Take broken pieces of an otherwise perfect home More often than not it's illusional Hanging By a Sinew Hanging by a single sinew Thread Pulling the strings Pushing limits I'm warning you now You can't stop this Save yourself The trouble The guilt Brave yourself Embrace yourself Save yourself The trouble The guilt Brave yourself Embrace yourself
