liz corney - ceremonies lyrics

tape measure, sewing kit
tuck your hair behind you ears, grip the pins between your t++th
a pattern to follow, where to cut where to sew
stitch yourself into a dress that’s borrowed
can you stand up straight for me?
squeeze yourself in here it’s tight
but it looks like it fits just right
do you need to breathe?
i, oh i didn’t realise i wouldn’t make it in time
for the ceremonies
i, oh, i didn’t know i was running so late behind
what’s expected of me
oh
the milestones come and go
events that mark a life pass by
so i can’t tell the time, because i can’t define anymore
the sp+ce that i occupy
can you just contort your frame?
twist yourself into this shape
do you need to move?
do you need to breathe?
i, oh i didn’t realise i wouldn’t make it in time
for the ceremonies
i, oh, i didn’t know i was running so late behind
what’s expected of me
oh
this gossamer thread, this invisible thread
around my wrist
this golden thread, this invisible thread
it tugs but i resist
it hurts my head, it hurts my heart
that i can’t begin, don’t know where to start
to understand why
and you think this a life and the markers come and pass you by
and you find that you can’t define the sp+ce that you occupy
and this thread around my wrist, it tugs, it tugs but i resist
and it hurts my head, it hurts my heart that i don’t know why
