Threads

There’s always someone, to take your place

There’s always something, to spend your money on

You never find the time, to do what you wanted to

You have other reasons, why you could never stop

 

It’s just a job, it’s just a job to you

 

And now I’m hanging, by the smallest thread

And I’m looking, for a cliff to sleep on

All this picking, through these wasted days

Watch me change my shape, slip into another form

 

It’s just a job, it’s just a job to you

 

Let me take you to the fields

Let me feed from your touch

It’s just a job to you

Let me show you how to burn
