Tapestry Lyrics

This is my party and these are my games

A series of faces with changeable names

But each one the same and it’s me with the shame

For seeking familiar versions of pain

The comfort of agony sought from the sanctuary

Of your rigid heart

You be the villain and I’ll be the prey

The truth is I chose the role you think you play

This choice is my own but my mind is still owned

By a previous version of what stands before me

The ghosts of my past are still weaving the tapestry

Of my destiny

Save me from fuelling this fantasy

Weaving my heart’s fateful tapestry

Tattered and hollow these patterns I follow

To feed my foolish heart

Patterns are forged in my mouth and my skin

Spinning the thread of desires from within

My cage is inside of me, guarding the core of me

I can’t escape, it’s the anchor of all of me

A prisoner held from the outside, internally

By my wary heart

Save me from fuelling this fantasy

Weaving my heart’s fateful tapestry

Tattered and hollow these patterns I follow

To feed my foolish heart

My mind is a room filled with faded out stars

Ceiling high windows with shutters and bars

I want to throw open the doors and the sashes

I want to build life from the embers and ashes

Release all the wishes in jars from the glasses

And save my hopeful heart

Save me from fuelling this fantasy

Weaving my heart’s fateful tapestry

Tattered and hollow these patterns I follow

To feed my foolish heart
