Spools of Thread Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

10 Years

2013

[Verse 1]
If you really don't believe me
You can tell me that I'm wrong
And I'd really like to look around
But my nightlight won't turn on
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It won't turn on
It won't turn on
It won't turn on
[Chorus]
And you know it's gonna hurt
And you never say a word
[Verse 2]
If you want to understand me
Sometimes you have to read the lines
As my tear-soaked pillow drowns me
I can see through all your lies
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Through all your lies
Through all your lies
Through all your lies
[Refrain 1]
And you don't want me to curse
Well fuck you
And you want me to smile
Well I try to
[Chorus]
And you know it's gonna hurt
And you never say a word
[Verse 3]
And every tree you've planted
Just turns back into dirt
And you know just what you prayed for
Well, I'm proof that doesn't work
[Pre-Chorus 3]
It doesn't work
It doesn't work
It doesn't work
It doesn't work
[Bridge]
The spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again
Spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again
Spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again
The spool of thread that's in my head, it won't spin the other way again
For me, for me
[Refrain 2]
And I wanted to change
So I did
And I want to die
[Instrumental Outro]
