Stitch together secret words and tie them up with string
After all I’ve been through I can cope with anything
Open eyes collecting clouds that darken in the day
Clasping hands in shadows that we try to keep at bay
I’m everyone’s but no-one’s and must reap what I sew
Feeling lost and lost in thoughts that twist forever slow
Mechanisms of defence are fair in love and war
Tell me just what it will take to even up the score
Cages with transparent bars locked tight from the inside
Trying hard to separate the real truths from the lies
Broken toys and puppet strings that fall slack to the floor
After all is said and done I’m always wanting more
