Green Thread Unspooled (v1)

Lyrics

The mirror wears my coat
The satin gleams
I trace the green embroidery on dreams
My eyes are still
The gaze is sharp and cold, a portrait framed in black
A story told, I button up the lie, the collar high
A ghost in silk waiting to say goodbye
The reflection blinks, but I do not
I'm unraveling the thread, bit by bit
Unspool the green, let the fabric tear
I'm not the face that's waiting there
No double image, no hollow shell
I'm writing out the script myself
The lobby echoes, footsteps out of sync
I shed the skin, I shed the brink of who I was
A perfect polished statue, now the cracks are wide
The air is mutter, the green tint shifts
The black recedes, I plant the doubt
I sow the seeds of who I'll be, not who they made
The stage is set, the debt is paid
Unspool the green, let the fabric tear
I'm not the face that's waiting there
The mirror shatters, the glass falls clean
I'm finally seen, I'm finally free
The anthem hums, the crowd agrees
I'm not the ghost
I'm the kiss
