i caught sight of my reflection
i caught it in the window
i saw the darkness in my heart
i saw the signs of my undoing
they had been there from the start
and the darkness still has work to do
the knotted chord’s untying
they’re heated and they’re holy
oh they’re sitting there on high
so secure with everything they’re buying

my grip is surely slipping
i think i’ve lost my hold
yes , i think i’ve lost my hold
i cannot get insurance anymore
they don’t take credit , only gold
is that a dagger or a crucifix i see
you hold so tightly in your hand
and all the while the distance grows between you and me
i do not understand
