Deep in the bottomless infinity of my heart,
     I feel the little red string
     to which I cling

Deep in the confines of my fractured soul,
     I feel the little red string unravel,
     forewarning a dangerous journey to travel

And suddenly the love that once tasted of freedom
     becomes a prison
If I've fallen out of love, 
     does that mean I've risen?

without the little red string,
      would the fractures in my soul crack and shatter? 
      would the certainties of my future fall and clatter?

So I cling to my prison,
      the little red string, 
      because I'm uncertain of the pain freedom will bring

But deep in the bottomless infinity of my heart, 
      I feel the red string 
      u  n  r  a  v  e  l 
as uncontrollably as when it first made a home in my heart 
                     a l a w l e s s f o r c e.
