I'm holding my breath, waiting for days
I'm pulling at threads until they fray
Burrow in my head, get comfortable
Sift right through my hair, and take out the wool
Show me your steel limbs...
Cold rimmed, heavy skinned, made of tin, teller of truth
How you make me patiently wait for you
Sitting on your splendid green emerald throne
Won't you show me the fragile steel limbs of your own?
I'm twisting my hair, creating split ends
I don't care what I write as long as it sends
Have I given up hope? Am I feeling despair?
I need to see clearly, there's soot in the air
Settle down, but don't snow me in.
Come let my transcendence begin!
And take out the wool.
Cold rimmed, heavy skinned, made of tin, teller of truth
How you make me patiently wait for you
Sitting on your splendid green emerald throne
Won't you show me the fragile steel limbs of your own?
For you.
