Songtext von Spinning Thread

Talk about something new, I'm goddamn desperate I'm fucking begging you In a test of recorded afternoons, you've changed to an "A" for effort beside the city train Just spinning wheels spinning thread and my spinning head Behold a glimpse of the nights you're guarding and holding back There's a panic button to start the heart attack It's the "new you" per your suggestion, mostly sad instead Inner monologue suggestion, curse it off again Just spinning wheels spinning thread and my spinning head A conversation forced into becoming such a chore Appearing cold and careless to keep me on the up and out Since I've been writing books you've sewn the binding An obligation stitched between careers That you've been seaming like a stranger I've been trying for the sake of trying, you could try to say I'm wrong Or we could fail at the hands of us failing, I can rarely bite my tongue for too long You heard it's better left unspoken and you heard it's better left alone But what the hell do you know? I know how we get, we get distracted, and I know how you are A single shot of whiskey, toast the battle scars I know it's a common cause for thicker skin I know the mourning stage is over, I know I'm right again Just spinning wheels spinning thread and my spinning head A conversation forced into becoming such a chore Appearing cold and careless to keep me on the up and out Since I've been writing books you've sewn the binding An obligation stitched between careers That you're still seaming like a stranger You keep on seeming like a stranger
