Threads

My sunken eyes keeps their shadows close

Hold their flicker closer still

Half glance hollow dice

The reckless rolls

Blind in the blaze of a wakin' dream

Old sorrow new friends always loneliness

Well there ain't no solace found in shame

Wild fires rage back burnin'

Grey dawn remains a fickle friend

I fear madness comin'

Each time I turn away from home again

I hear the madness callin'

Threads are beginning to fray

From both ends

Living though joy and pain

It's all relative

To the weight I carry

Those that I long for

Shoulder the strain so they'll never know

Can't rest for wishin' someone did

I fear madness comin'

Each time I turn away from home again

I hear the madness callin'

Threads are beginning to fray

From both ends

These paths so worn

And tired don't weather well

Just as in all things

The circle carries

Save some for yourself

Said the mad visionary

Time can always tell

Another sorry story for some other fool
