Weavers Knot

### **[Verse 1]**

Whisper invoke the artists of this tragically seamless, ill-fated tapestry

Blistered fingers tending their loom

She collects the strands to braid into lives

Logging the weft of an ageless woven infinity

### **[Chorus]**

Countless raw fibers clawing the frame

A woman's work is never done

But the final stitch has got to come

And so three witches contend to slice the very last thread

That you curse, curse constantly

Tie the knot

### **[Verse 2]**

Nothing's immortal and comfort is not guaranteed

A yearling that bears our sincere passions, is chosen, frozen and quivering

Like the thread in the wake of a blade

And so we compromise, so we sacrifice

Compromise nothing, but that which secures a comfortable life

### **[Bridge]**

Risk as an indication of a healing sacrifice

Destroy the altar whose boundaries tides will never exceed

Ignite the pyres underneath a sedated mythology

Five decades his lifetime, and his life's work faded scratches in stone

She tends to numerals, counting fingers, counting her toes

### **[Hook]**

Keeping track of time racing years wasting

Dance to the sound of his weight bearing back breaking

Infinite ages the length of this quilt's making

And we dance, and we dance in the stronghold

That you curse, curse constantly

### **[Verse 3]**

An eternal patch on a quilt that hangs from a wall in a throw fraught with our decay

An eternal patch fraught with our decay, remembered forever til it goes away

From 6 states away, 5 years of guilt postmarked 4 days before my escape

My dad's favorite novel on top of the pile in this self-conscious shake

The memory of his smile

Igniting these volumes, igniting these volumes

I'm warmed by the flames

### **[Outro]**

Alter the deafening earthen tones

In the nervous light, I dance in the nervous light

And I'm warmed by the flames

Dance to the sound of his weight bearing back fucking breaking

Slowly breaking

Dictate the deafening earthen tones

Alter the pitch of his weight bearing back breaking

We can dictate the pitch of our weight bearing back breaking

Alter the tone of your weight bearing back breaking

We can mend all the seams that were torn during our backs slowly breaking

In the nervous light, the nervous light of Sunday
