lyrics

old shirt, new rips
same spot, seam split
night air frigid
still i sport it

itchy sweater, took off layers
exposed, skin red, frostbite numbing
need not a map, faulty compass
circled me back time and time again

cold hands, no mitts
swollen, limp grip
gust blows, lose breath
nearing cliff's edge

footing slipping, heartbeat skipping
find my focus, take hold of this
next week's forecast calm skies promised
find my center, follow suture

fate, dread, tears drip
freeze, stiff, fears shift

i await your sewing kit and your careful touch
to get me back on the mend, pull my strings pull me up again

benchmark, same spot
patchwork sewn shut
worsted, front side
with nap behind

tip toe sideways, evade their blaze
they'll burn new holes, heated needles
keep my head down while they make rounds
worse through winter, find my center

old spot, new itch
same shit, leave it
the more i fidget
the hole will grow

footing slipping, heartbeat skipping
find my focus, take hold of this
next week's forecast calm skies promised
find my center, follow suture

fate, dread, tears drip
freeze, stiff, fears shift

i await your sewing kit and your careful cross stitch
to get me back on the mend, pull my strings pull me up again
