Lyrical

Unravel me
a distant cord
on the outside is forgotten
a constant need to get along
and the animal awakens
and all I feel is black and white

The road is long
the memory slides to the whole of my undoing
put aside
I put away, I push it back to get through each day
and all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am

Everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance
so don't disappoint them

Unravel me
untie this cord
the very centre of our union is caving in
I can't endure
I am the archive of our failure

And all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am

Everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance
so don't disappoint them
Everybody loves you when you're easy
so don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them.
