01. Tangled in the Thread v1.10

[sg1-eva-me-ce-gour-02-03] [TF.v4.0.2026.0924R] [Immediate Vocal Entry] [Cold Open: Close narrow centered lead vocal begins immediately over a dry grainy electronic bass-percussion pulse] [Verse 1] I leaned on you like a house built strong, Never thought a refuge could go so wrong. Your voice was the quiet I ran toward, It held my fear; now it holds my war. I took your hand, thinking it was mine, Didn’t see the weight you wove in time. **Chorus** And it's pulling me under, piece by piece, Losing myself just to keep the peace. The closer I get, the more it steals, This love is a cage that I can’t unfeel. I’m fighting the guilt, but it’s in my chest — Tangled in the thread of what’s left. **Verse 2** It’s your shadow I’m wearing like my own, Your broken heart became my cornerstone. The blame you cast fits like it belongs, I push it away, but it won’t stay gone. How did safety start to burn my skin? The tighter I pull, the deeper I’m in. **Chorus** And it's pulling me under, piece by piece, Losing myself just to keep the peace. The closer I get, the more it steals, This love is a cage that I can’t unfeel. I’m fighting the guilt, but it’s in my chest — Tangled in the thread of what’s left. **Bridge** It’s not as simple as turning away, Your hurt finds me every time I stay. Even when I scream that this can’t go on, The echo keeps saying I’m all wrong. Defiance sparks, but it won’t take flame, I’m trapped in the grip of your quiet blame. **Final Chorus** And it's pulling me under, piece by piece, Losing myself just to keep the peace. The closer I get, the more it steals, This love is a cage that I can’t unfeel. I’m fighting the guilt, but it’s in my chest — Tangled in the thread, still second-guessed. I’m pushing back hard, but I’m not free yet — Tangled in the thread of what’s left.
