← Loose Ends

/ Lyrics
[Intro]
Morning hits the window
Like it doesn’t know my name
Coffee on the counter
Same shirt, same ache
I thought by now the noise
Would’ve learned to thin itself out
But the house still talks in little cracks
And I still answer back
[Verse 1]
There’s a plate in the sink
There’s a pill I didn’t take
There’s a text I almost answered
Then let die for my own sake
There’s a laugh still in the drywall
There’s a bruise still in the frame
There’s a version of me in every room
Still twitching at the name
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted neat lines
I wanted clean hands
Instead I got this life
Still moving while it frays
[Chorus]
Still unraveling
Still coming apart at the seams
Still unraveling
Still waking up inside the dream
Not gone
Not done
Not clean enough to call it won
Still unraveling
And I’m still in it
[Verse 2]
I used to think the ending
Would arrive like a door
One clean shut behind me
One clean floor
But it’s slower than that
And meaner too
A thread comes loose at midnight
And by morning five more do
I see my people in the kitchen
Bent but breathing all the same
Cracked mugs, bad backs, dark jokes
And everybody half reclaimed
There’s no choir waiting for us
No silver thread pulled straight
Just a hand still reaching through the mess
Saying stay, stay, stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted one cut
One bright break
Instead I got this pulse
Still running through the waste
[Chorus]
Still unraveling
Still coming apart at the seams
Still unraveling
Still waking up inside the dream
Not gone
Not done
Not clean enough to call it won
Still unraveling
And I’m still in it
[Bridge]
Maybe that’s the whole thing
Maybe that’s the truth
Not some finished person
Not some cured excuse
Just a body full of loose ends
Learning what it means to live
When nothing ties off clean
And you still have more to give
[Breakdown]
Loose end in the blood
Loose end in the bone
Loose end in the mouth
Still calling me home
Loose end in the dark
Loose end in the light
Still fucking unraveling
Still alive tonight
[Final Chorus]
Still unraveling
Still coming apart at the seams
Still unraveling
Still waking up inside the dream
Not gone
Not done
Not clean enough to call it won
Still unraveling
And I’m still in it
Still unraveling
And I’m still—
[Outro]
