Unraveling from Insurmountable Odds by Honeydew and the Jackal

On the edge I’m floating
Don’t know quite where I’m going
My feet aren’t steady
Soul is feeling kinda heavy
Feel the debts they are pressing
Man they are collecting
Can’t cease the sweating
Second guessing, every damn thing
Tethered, held together
By a thin string
One more pull & I’m spiraling, spinning, falling apart
Can’t figure out how to start mending
Myself or you
Lemme tell you the truth
Don’t know what the fuck to do
Cause we’re damaged
Our hearts can’t take it for granted
There’s no salvation for the banished
Now down you go, way down below
Watch the flames as they glow
You can’t put ‘em out
Try to blow them away
You’ll just stoke them no doubt
When you see that they’re rising
Don’t you take a step back
Ask who issued the challenge
Feel my teeth round your neck
Now you cannot breathe
Cause the fire and smoke
Brought you down to your knees
Hear you starting to choke
Wondering why
May as well lay down and die
Second guessing, every damn thing
Tethered, held together
By a thin string
One more pull and I’m spiraling, spinning
Tearing apart at the seams
As you torment me in my dreams
You’re reaching towards me as you start to scream
The inner demons
Are possessing me my friends
Oh Abba oh Jesus
If it pleases-you
Take my soul from here
I need it gone my dear
Hold it safe for me
Til such a time when
I can return and retrieve
Until it’s that time then
There’s a hand on my heel
Dragging me back to hell
Look and it’s you as you yell
”Help me!”
Save yourself you’re good at that
Demons are holding you back
They are keeping you in check
Got you by the arms
Captive behind these bars
Your wings have burned
And you can’t turn
Back into an angel
Just because you say so
Keep your “I’m sorry”
Forget your apologies
Covered up excuses
For all the abuse and
Please do not bother me
I have stopped listening
I am holding on by one thin string
Which has one good pull left and I am
Spiraling, spinning, tethered, held together
By a thin string
Which has one good pull and I am...
