INTRO cut (snip—snip, soft, close) cut cut cut the thread cut the ties cut the old make space to breathe to breathe to breathe ⸻ VERSE 1 tangled up in a pattern I didn’t choose little knots in my hands, in my tongue, in my shoes pull a thread and it tightens the whole design every loop saying this is yours, this is mine but I’m slipping the stitch, I’m loosening now don’t remember agreeing but I remember how every line that I followed starts to unwind and there’s air in my chest for the first time ⸻ PRE-CHORUS let it loosen, let it slide let it fall to either side there’s a rhythm underneath I can feel it when I breathe ⸻ CHORUS cut cut cut cut the thread cut the ties cut the old make space to breathe to breathe to breathe ⸻ VERSE 2 now it unravels with a little swing drop the weight, feel the give in the string what I carried was never mine to hold just a shimmer of a story I was told step light, let it fall behind no more knots in the back of my mind just a line that hums when it’s true and it opens the air I move through ⸻ BRIDGE only what’s true remains only what’s true remains I don’t carry ghosts forward I don’t carry ghosts forward just space in my lungs again just space in my lungs again ⸻ OUTRO cut the thread cut the ties make space to breathe to breathe to breathe
