lyrics

who told you pull yourself by such a frayed line
who told you to live alone
who told you that these arms close like vices
who told to let go

come like children and sleep in the shelters
taste green my only hope for you is peace

who told you cut the chords and snip the vines
who told you you're much safer to sleep
oh how long will you keep your distance
you'll bite your lips before you're chewed

we are but drops in the sea
just a grain on a beach
we're all branches of a vine
and i'm a stitch in a blanket
