"Thread" lyrics

I didn't want it
Back then or right now
I never felt it
The way I do now

You always told me
Stay up and stay safe
I never thought you
Meant what you say

Something
Something
For me
For me

(Woo!)

Tell a story
That's the story, isn't it?
I know, but– that's not- it wasn't a book
Just tell me a little story, like you did last time
What do you mean I told you a story?
About the horse in the woods
Ummm, oh, ehe, this is the one that Papa told me
Like, make up a story! I guess, you know-
Oh
-like telling stories? You know?
Once upon a time, there was a-
Umm, there was a nephew and an uncle. Or I mean, there was a g-...a...
What? If Jayce is your nephew, then... am I-?
You're my niece
Oh- so. Um, there was a niece and an uncle.

(Three!)
I pray for my brothers
'Cause I'm on the thread too
I pray for my father
'Cause I'm in my head too
I pray for my mother
I carry that weight too
I pray for my sister
Though I never met you

I pray for my nephews
And pray for the niece too
To never know why
That I'm on the thread too
That I'm on the thread too

Mmm, I don't know what the future...is. What do you think the future will be like?
