Wooly Skin
Go head and just judge me Bang the gavel Take this thread, walk away, let it all unravel It meant nothing to anyone but me
I'm holding the tension As I struggle to mention those three little words So I'll take my feelings And burry them deep beneath the stuffing Weave them in the every stitch I bound up my hands for you Walked thousands of yards on my fingertips
I made it in your image Its wooly skin echoes your soul
I toiled countless hours Spent so many nights by the fire For a future that could've been hours All for something to which I'll never aspire
Each loop a thought I couldn't say Each knot a promise gave away But you thanked me like it was nothing at all While stood there, waiting for your calI
So just take it, take it, and leave me alone I sent it out into the world just so I could let you go
So set it and leave it Let the dust begin to settle On that long forgotten trinket But when someone stumbles with curiosity I hope your thoughts begin to jumble and you can't help but think of me Feel the lump in your throat swell
Hold it close like it's never enough cause I'm gone!
