lyrics

My heart string's hooked around your fingers
Looped all around your thumb
Wound about every knuckle
I come unraveled, i am undone

What is this I've come to know?
A reticent heat
I fear there is no treading backwards
I've met my defeat

I try to regain every thread and put it in it's place
They keep slipping through my fingers
at every knowing look upon your face

What is this I've come to know?
A reticent heat
I fear there is no treading backwards
I've met my defeat

Such feeling meets with every atom every stitch in my skin
I have so little strength to tether this yearning to my whim

What is this I've come to know?
A reticent heat
I fear there is no treading backwards
I've met my defeat
