Thursday-Wind Up

[vxscreenxnamexv]

Just ahead I see you winding up,
and you're dressing this a color on the edge of fire
Until these tightened strides march in time again
I don't know where I will go
I don't know if I will cut through
I don't know if my heart will beat without you guiding it, winding up, leading me, winding up to explode
It's the sound of your racing heart
that beats in time with every start (the start of the year, the start of life, the start of war)
that reaches up and across the sky,
that makes us want to rise
I'm falling to pieces, I can't let go,
tearing apart your lies
Wanting to live
It's the sound of your shotgun pulse,
beating over and over in your silent halls
It's a thought that keeps us alive,
it makes us want to try
I'm falling to pieces, I can't let go,
tearing apart your lies
I want to live
A scream to guide me
through my life, winding up,
guiding me, winding up to what you can not unwind
This side of you and if its taken away,
you won't know what to do
You're stretching to meet expectations
that you will never reach,
and now it's far too late
to ever leave this cold
I'm giving up, marching in time with their drums
I'm letting go of everything I once loved
