Deb Talan - Unraveling Lyrics

Lyrics Unraveling - Deb Talan



You tie your shoes too tight, you know
'Cause it feels better that way
And when you don't, all night you are dreaming
You walk, laces streaming down the street behind you
A river of tangled string
You are unraveling
And no one else seems to mind
You keep it to yourself, stay numb and act fine
You wear the truth under your sole, like a pebble
It makes you limp and sway
But it will out someday
Take it from me it is no use
Washing your hands so often they are clean and cracked
You never get your old skin back
Once you have loved like that
You're a river of tangled string
You are unraveling
And no one else seems to mind
You keep it to yourself, shake'em off and act fine
You wear your shame under your sole, like a pebble
It makes you limp and sway
But it will out someday
He is inside you, he loved your marrow
You think you could cut him out with a knife
If you went deep enough
I don't think so
Maybe sing him back to living
'Cause he might rise like a snake in a basket
Or he may close his eyes
And wait till his life is a full-fledged casket
Floating on
A river of tangled string
You are unraveling
And no one else seems to mind
You keep it to yourself, stay numb and act fine
You wear the truth under your sole, like a pebble
It makes you limp and sway
But it will out someday.
