Stray Thread

I see the distorted reflection of me
It calls to me, telling me that I'll be replaced
I chose an entourage with similarities and differences
But in the end they'd prefer somebody else

One who could match exactly who they were
I'm not the one they want
So maybe I should change
They've got me surrounded
I must fit myself into the mold shaped like their hearts

The shadow is coming after me again
The pattern hangs in the air all around
I'm just a stray thread falling into place
In this inescapable providential fate

I brought you into my self, my inner world
The pattern grows stronger; I can't fight back
I'm just a stray thread falling into place
In this inescapable providential fate

Now there's no place left for me in this harmony
I wanted you to be here to remind me of who I am
But now you're here, I'm losing sight of myself

I know you want to stitch the pattern closed
Defeat my last stronghold
You'll forge the strongest bond with each other, not me
And I will be cast out from these links I had formed

The shadow is coming after me again
The pattern hangs in the air all around
I'm just a stray thread falling into place
In this inescapable providential fate

I brought you into my self, my inner world
The pattern grows stronger; I can't fight back
I'm just a stray thread falling into place
In this inescapable providential fate

The prison door of this harmony swings closed
You've gotten under my skin and blurred the line between us
Must I burn these bridges from here on out
We'll all be reduced to nothing, the inner world torn to pieces

The shadow is coming after me again
The pattern hangs in the air all around
I'm just a stray thread falling into place
In this inescapable providential fate

I brought you into my self, my inner world
The pattern grows stronger; I can't fight back
I'm just a stray thread falling into place
In this inescapable providential fate
