Trap

[Verse 1] There’s a thin pale line Running out from my chest Catches on doorknobs Snags on your breath Every small promise Tied like a knot Pull and it tightens Pull and it stops [Chorus] Fragile fate Hanging by a careless thread Cut by scissors Right before the next step Every time I lean into the great unknown Blades come down And I’m walking home alone [Verse 2] Plans on the table Coffee rings Folded maps Phone lights up buzzing Wrong name Same trap I reach for the handle World almost swings wide Then a slow silver shimmer Slices the sky [Chorus] Fragile fate Hanging by a careless thread Cut by scissors Right before the next step Every time I lean into the great unknown Blades come down And I’m walking home alone [Bridge] Is it random hands that close around the steel Or some quiet rule I signed but never read Are we writing paths or tracing what we’re fed Who is choosing where the ribbon ends [Chorus] Fragile fate Hanging by a careless thread Cut by scissors Right before the next step Every time I lean into the great unknown Blades come down And I’m walking home alone
