The Silver String

Who holds a silver string Lost in a staggered motion When you run away Whoever changes shape Showing oscillation I'll see you there

Alternate the day (and let go) Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard) The fragment that anchors it all (it to the wall) Separate the way (and let go) Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard) The vision that anchors it all (it to the wall)

And I've forgotten everything you said

For you to bounce right back Pick up right where you left off When you run away Whoever took my place Showing oscillation I'll see you there

And how it seemed I should be reborn

Alternate the day (and let go) Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard) The fragment that anchors it all (it to the wall) Separate the way (and let go) Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard) The vision that anchors it all (it to the wall)

In the outline there's a test Where it all gets settled in There's no structure to my atrophy (Oh) There's a padlock on the chest Where it all gets hidden in There's no pattern to my apathy (Oh) There's impulses in my atrophy (Oh) There's no structure to my apathy (Oh)

Alternate the day (and let go) Scream the last charade and let it be (and safeguard) The fragment that anchors it all (it to the wall) Separate the way (and let go) Drown inside the shade and let it go (and safeguard) The vision that anchors it all (it to the wall)
