Almost Always - Threadbare Lyrics

Like a small speck in your eye
Appearing from time to time
I feared it would leave you blind
I feared the snakes crawling in my insides

But somehow I forgot to tell you
Eroded intentions, my plans all fell through

Hands on shoulders, man
You're not alright
Hearts frozen over, happens
All the time
Venom possessor, steeped
In my insides
Two full grown trees, Lord
Please take both of my eyes

My stomach is full of
Half-digested words
My tongue, a fire, a forest burned
Back down to earth

Iron dull, fresh and brackish water
Draining into hell
Lips sewn together, following the river that
I'm following as well

Hands on shoulders, man
You're not alright
Hearts frozen over, happens
All the time
If a threadbare sorry keeps
You thawing here with me
We might see the sunlight in
The blurry picture, mist
And vapor of a blind's
Returning sight
