18- What it does

A voice appears innocuous
Not be not afraid, but something akin
Be mildly perturbed at the least
Give it a mouth and a face for it's lack of skin

Stomach twisting all out of chyme
So try to unfurl it, the best that you can
Tie up your loose ends two at a time
Scratch that and stick to the original plan

Make bows instead of knots
Pluck the petals off all
Your forget-me-nots

Are chances as good as shots?
Spin the wheel anyway
I already forgot

Creeping closer, weaving in through
Every other thought no longer my own
Every break in fleeting fabric
Closer until the seams will burst

Is the voice mine?
Or just the one speaking to me?
Or is it speaking to you?
Or is it talking to itself?

Remove it from your mind
Keep tying, keep tying, keep time
Let the thread off the hook and fly
Keep trying, keep trying, keep on

And once you're unwrapped and unbound
Keep vying, keep vying, keep hope
The one who is left will be found
