Green Thread Unspooled (v2)

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 color 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 my
The lobby echoes, footsteps out of sync I shed the skin, I shed the brink
I knew I was a perfect polished statue Now the cracks are wide, the air is mudder
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 dead is played
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 king.
Thank you.
