I fish for answers to questions
Floating in the salty seas
Soon to be devoured
By the hungry ocean waves
Exploring the dark cloud of yesterday
That hangs above my head
No silver lining or gold lame
Only frayed and hanging threads
Threads will take me places
Where every soul is strange
Looking puzzled at the faces
Not connected with any name
Always looking through the veil
Obscuring what is real
What I seek I find again
Such a bargain, such a steal
The road goes on forever
Sometimes it's a maze
It brings me back to the place I love
Like a repeating favorite phrase
Hot rubber spins the gravel
On the highway to the sea
Where I go to find the answer
How my life must truly be
Threads will weave the fabric
To keep our bodies warm
Cut from the same cloth
As the day we were born
But bias and prejudice
Is so dyed in the wool
Now will not help us
When the glass is not so full
Threads will take us places
We've never been before
Tying all our thoughts together
Like they've never been tied before
But threads will also bundle
Into nasty little knots
A reminder of the prospect
Of the dangers we forgot
Threads will hold us together
Threads will keep us from falling apart...
Threads will hold us together
Threads.
