A Blaze of Feather - Threads

My sunken eyes keeps their shadows close
Hold their flicker closer still
Half glance hollow dice
The reckless rolls
Blind in the blaze of a wakin' dream

Old sorrow new friends always loneliness
Well there ain't no solace found in shame
Wild fires rage back burnin'
Grey dawn remains a fickle friend

I fear madness comin'
Each time I turn away from home again
I hear the madness callin'
Threads are beginning to fray
From both ends

Living though joy and pain
It's all relative
To the weight I carry
Those that I long for
Shoulder the strain so they'll never know
Can't rest for wishin' someone did

I fear madness comin'
Each time I turn away from home again
I hear the madness callin'
Threads are beginning to fray
From both ends

These paths so worn
And tired don't weather well
Just as in all things
The circle carries
Save some for yourself
Said the mad visionary
Time can always tell
Another sorry story for some other fool
