Song Lyrics

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 center 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

Da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, ba, ba
Da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, ba, ba, ba
Da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Da, ba, da, ba, da, ba, ba, ba, ba
Everybody loves you when you're easy so
Don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
Don't disappoint them
