Record Tracklist

  1. Unraveling Rope -:-- / -:--

say it isn’t so
i could feel the ledge crack with every word you spoke
to, above all, you
i held out my hope like unraveling rope
it did not take hold
still, held out my hope

a soundproof pane of glass
separates your world from the one i understand
where do i belong?
a catechistic orphan, seeking her homeland
please say it’s not so
my home is not my home
say it’s not so

i saw them falling one by one
disappearing off the edge
had myself convinced that you
would not be tricked and follow them
and when you spoke, i watched you go
my heart sank down, its anchor lost
was it you who walked away
or was it i who wandered off?

i saw them falling one by one
jumping, gleeful, to the end
could not bear the thought of you
disappearing off the edge
everyone sets out to find
and to be found, everyone’s lost
was it you who walked away
or was it i who wandered off?

say it’s not so
please say it’s not so
i held out my hope like unraveling rope
