Thin Lines

Verse I said a word It got caught in my throat and it burned Slipped off my tongue and I choked You were concerned for a second Then cries echoed into the night lesson learned Because you heard a word That I said and this word how it rang In your head it was loud and glorious yes And from where you lay on my chest Well you heard it best But you held me closely while I screamed And I watched the thinnest trails of green Run down your neck and drip from your chin Thin trails of green, thin lines on gray skin Thin lines on gray skin Thin lines on gray skin Where the world ends that’s where it begins My thin lines my thin lines verse 2 I said a word Was it a blessing or curse? Nobody knows the whole story Nobody hears me but you And you would have heard more if you could have I’m sure Because you heard my word, You still do with your hands, eyes, and rest of you too Little stray on my lap, zealot, hellcat Can’t forgive what I did to my dream-maker Has thou forsaken her? And if you knew what I knew would you object? Are we madmen or soothsayers? Truthfully sweet heretic? I bit off the bit that silenced the world for you sewed up my sin With thin threads of black, thin lines on gray skin Thin lines on gray skin Thin lines on gray skin Where the world ends that’s where it begins My thin lines, my thin lines
