Thread Bare

Lyrics: Woke up again in a skin that tears, Another day pretending that I still care. Faking smiles, just keeping pace, But I’m falling apart in this empty space. They pull on threads that I tried to hide, Tugging at the parts I've kept inside. I hold together, barely there, A broken shell, too tired to care. Lie and say I’m doing fine, But I’m coming loose with every line. They see the mask, not what’s beneath— Just fabric stretched over the grief. Thread bare, I’m coming undone, Worn out, fading with the sun. Torn at the seams, but I play my part, Just fading in the crowd, alone. Thread bare, nothing feels real, I don’t know how to feel. But I wear this smile like a mask, Pretending that I even care. They talk, I nod, like I belong, But I’ve been breaking all along. The silence creeps in like a flood, And every word just draws more blood. I’m stitched with fear, patched with lies, Held together by goodbye. But no one sees the way I break— Just keep walking, for survival’s sake. Lie and say I’m doing fine, But I’m coming loose with every line. They see the mask, not what’s beneath— Just fabric stretched over the grief. Thread bare, I’m coming undone, Worn out, fading with the sun. Torn at the seams, but I play my part, Just fading in the crowd, alone. Thread bare, nothing feels real, I don’t know how to feel. But I wear this smile like a mask, Pretending that I even care. I’m lost in the noise, but I can’t hear a thing, Trying to find a reason to feel anything. All the colors are fading, turned to gray, Stuck in a place where I can’t get away. Thread bare, I’m coming undone, Worn out, fading with the sun. Torn at the seams, but I play my part, Just fading in the crowd, alone. Thread bare, nothing feels real, I don’t know how to feel. But I wear this smile like a mask, Pretending that I even care. I’m just fading, fading away, I’m just fading, fading away,
