Verse 1
Silver slipping through the lock
Watching the gears in your chest go tick
Spinning the world like a plastic top
Until it wobbles and comes to a stop
I glide in through a sleepy yawn
Stretching my fingers till the bone is tight
Borrowing skin till the early dawn
Before your better sense is gone
Pre-Chorus
Taste the copper
Hold the lie
Wait for the glass to break
Chorus
Oh I am the knot in your silken thread
Wearing your eyes while you sleep in bed
Spinning your secrets out into the street
Making the bitter feel sugary sweet
I am the truth that you try to hide
Taking a joyride deep inside
I love the mess that I make you hold
Turning your copper into fool's gold
Verse 2
Knocking the vase from the wooden shelf
Laughing while you scramble for the pieces
Show me the monster within yourself
Wrapped in your pride and your fake wealth
Pockets heavy with stolen stones
Watching you stutter when the lights go dim
Ice in the marrow of your heavy bones
While I am king of these human thrones
Pre-Chorus
Burn the letters
Cut the wire
Feed the hungry little fire
Chorus
Oh I am the knot in your silken thread
Wearing your eyes while you sleep in bed
Spinning your secrets out into the street
Making the bitter feel sugary sweet
I am the truth that you try to hide
Taking a joyride deep inside
I love the mess that I make you hold
Turning your copper into fool's gold
Bridge
Maybe you like how it feels to fall
Clawing the patterns off the papered wall
Empty of logic and empty of grace
Watching a stranger look back from your face
One little push and the bridge comes down
One little smile for the terrified town
Chorus
Oh I am the knot in your silken thread
Wearing your eyes while you sleep in bed
Spinning your secrets out into the street
Making the bitter feel sugary sweet
I am the truth that you try to hide
Taking a joyride deep inside
I love the mess that I make you hold
Turning your copper into fool's gold
