Tangled Thread (Lyrics)

I used to be the one who listened to her intuitions
I used to blend into my world like water colours
But now I seem made up of odds and ends and knots of dread
I try to cope but everything I seem to do is simply

Wrong wrong wrong wrong
It’s scary in the dark but I’ll deny it
Wish I was
Home home home home
Instead of trying to unravel this head

I’ve got a brain of tangled thread
And I can’t make heads or tails of it
Hands and heart and eyes and feet
It’s getting harder and harder to keep that beat

It started when my tightrope snapped in loop dee loops
And now I’m stuck inside a haywire roller coasters caboose
My body’s whittled down to fight or flight there’s no more light
Can’t fix this one myself (PLEASE HELP)
Oh get me out of here it’s

Wrong wrong wrong wrong
It’s scary in the dark but I’ll deny it
Wish I was home home home home
Instead of trying to unravel this head

I’ve got a brain of tangled thread
And I can’t make heads or tails of it
Hands and heart and eyes and feet
It’s getting harder and harder and harder
To keep that beat

Left is up and down is right
I don’t see no end in sight
Staring up from on the floor
I can’t fight it anymore
(Don’t you shut that door! Don’t you shut that door!)

Mind oh my mind oh!
This mangled maze of mine
Help me I’m falling
Into a field of mines
Sound the alarms
Oh I need a lifeline
Won’t you pull on the thread
Til it all unwinds

Wanna shout wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Wanna shout Wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Say em anyway

Mind oh my mind oh!
This mangled maze of mine
Help me I’m falling
Into a field of mines
Sound the alarms
Oh I need a lifeline
Won’t you pull on the thread
Til it all unwinds

Mind oh my mind oh!
This mangled maze of mine
Help me I’m falling
Into a field of mines
Sound the alarms
Oh I need a lifeline
Won’t you pull on the thread
Til it all unwinds

Wanna shout wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Wanna shout Wanna sing wanna say all the things
I’ve been too choked up to say
I wanna say em anyway
Say em anyway
