Yarn
by Jetty Rae

Album: Drowning in Grain

I've wound me up, like yarn in a ball
But I'm coming unraveled, half can never be full
I believed in me, myself and I
A healthy dose of self reliance, I don't need anyone by my side

That's a lie, a lie

I've locked me up, a stubborn jailer in a cell
But I'm brave enough to never ever, call for help
When stones are thrown, I want to throw them back
I never want to be the bigger man, I never pass the test

But I try, I try

I wound myself, with your imaginary words
Convince my ears and heart, they're sure of what
They've never even heard
Maintaining space, and my sense of dignity have kept me
Far away from the arms of real transparency

Forgive me, Forgive

I cut me down, by breaking my own hand
I criticize your lack of grace, I criticize all I can
Wanting to change everyone but myself
Oh I'm running a dizzying race I can't change anyone else
But myself

But myself, myself
