The Tapestry (Is Finished) Lyrics

We finally finished up the tapestry, oh what do I do now?

I get my things from your apartment and I wonder how

It took so long to kick the habit, I'm not frightened anymore

I got sick off all the silence, it got too hard to ignore

And I take some sadistic pleasure in the way I hurt you too

You broke my heart a thousand times, when you did the things you'd do

We're you doing all you could with what you knew, or was it something more

I don't hate you but I'm not your frightened rabbit anymore

And you can keep the yellow carpet

If it means I'm left alone 'cause

All I ever did was bring you down

Cling to string around your finger, try too hard not to drown

Did you ever really want me around

I never did know what you wanted, I'm haunted, now I know

That the tapestry is finished and it's time for me to go

This summer I will fall asleep with all my windows open wide

And I will take over the city, I am far too young to hide

From the spiders that come creeping in through holes left in the screen

I'll open up the windows wider, fuck the writers, some machine

Is whirring, churning out the stories of our lived behind a wall behind the scenes

Is that what you believe, oh did you care at all for me

Did you believe that bits of thread could save us from ourselves

We were dead wrong, we were lead on

Now go fuck somebody else

And I'll do the same

And for the first time in a long time I will not feel any shame 'cause

All you ever did was bring me down

Cling to string around my finger, try too hard not to drown

Did you ever really want me around

I never did know what you wanted, I'm haunted, now I know

That the tapestry is finished and it's time for me to go

All I ever did was bring you down

Cling to string around your finger, try too hard not to drown

Did you ever really want me around

I never did know what you wanted

'Cause

All you ever did was bring me down

Cling to string around my finger, try too hard not to drown

Did you ever really want me around

I never did know what you wanted, I'm haunted, now I know

That the tapestry is finished and it's time for me to go
