Twisted Frame

Title: Twisted Frame Artist: Black Thread Union [Intro] [Verse 1] The floorboards slant at thirty degrees They told me to stand like the angle was clean I checked the level on the structural beam It looked like a line in a fever dream You curve your spine to match the wall You tilt your head so you don’t fall A temporary lean just to get through the night Until the wrong layout starts to feel right [Pre-Chorus] One shoulder high One shoulder low Adapting to the only room I know I leaned so hard Just to survive the lean I became part Of the twisted machine [Chorus] How the hell do I stand straight In a room this fucking bent? I curved my spine just to survive Now I don’t even recognize Who the fuck I used to be Twisted frame Twisted frame I forgot what straight even means [Verse 2] I walked outside to the open street But the pavement was moving under my feet The horizon line was a broken thread The sky felt like a weight on my head My bones remember the shape of the cage My neck is fixed at a permanent grade They didn’t break me with a heavy blow They built the room so nothing grows straight [Pre-Chorus] One shoulder high One shoulder low Adapting to the only room I know I leaned so hard Just to survive the lean I became part Of the twisted machine [Chorus] How the hell do I stand straight In a room this fucking bent? I curved my spine just to survive Now I don’t even recognize Who the fuck I used to be Twisted frame Twisted frame I forgot what straight even means [Bridge] I tried to stretch I tried to find the line The true vertical Inside this spine But the bone is set The cartilage is dry I look at the straight world And I call it a fucking lie [Final Chorus] How the hell do I stand straight In a room this fucking bent? I curved my spine just to survive Now I don’t even recognize Who the fuck I used to be Twisted frame Twisted frame This is all that’s left of me Twisted frame Twisted frame I forgot what straight even means [Outro]
