Lyrics
That silver thread above your left knuckle,
from a slipped wrench south of the Luzon Strait.
You trace the pattern that the steel had stitched,
a pale, tough nerve you learned to tolerate.
[Chorus]
It's the first thread of the unraveling, man.

[Verse 2]

that snags on everything you ever took.
[Outro]
You can't weave it in again.
No, you can't weave it in again.
