The ending is muuuuch better than in v1.0! :D Must...arrange...recording session again soon! *wag*
panic rises up so suddenly within me
crease my brows and purse my lips and I look old
like an origami spider up a chimney
I will fall into the fire if I unfold
wound so tight
wound so tight
because everything else is unraveling
we throw away the things we own
the clothes, the books the telephone
devices we use every day
and statues we cannot display
but like a camel full of water
knowing I'm my Father's daughter
swells my back, makes me look muscular and strong
still I can't carry all this gear
I'm just a snarl of will and fear and hope
suspended from a filament of song
wound so tight
wound so tight
because everything else is unraveling
why do I clutch myself so tight?
it isn't any use
only my hands can reach inside
of me and cut me loose
all blessings wait for me if I
can find the will to choose
to let them in
only my God, my world, my loved ones
truly satisfy
the thirst in me that turning inward
would have drained me dry
I hold to all things but in fact
I do not have to try
only begin
wound so tight
wound so tight
still when everything else is unraveling
