Threads

 A book is never just a book

there's always a backstory

an uphill climb that's overlooked

or something grim and gory 

Someone had to find the pieces

and put them together

Write a letter, get on a plane, go out and find the answers

There's so many stories to be told

all the threads that connect us

so many things we can't control 

all the different perceptions

Gotta let perfection go 

before it breaks us

On your desk, something grotesque

we hold hidden seasons

a paperweight, the skull of a snake

tell me all your reasons

So many stories to be told

all the threads that connect us

so many things we can't control 

all the different perceptions

Gotta let perfection go 

before it breaks us

It's okay to take some time

have the room to yourself

to make up your mind

Every look is just a look

we get to share the stages

take what we know and what we learn

and read between the pages

So many stories to be told

all the threads that connect us

so many things we can't control 

all the different perceptions

Gotta let perfection go 

before it breaks us
