Kintsugi Rules

[Verse 1]
The grain pattern on the Thekla's bar is running east to west.
It's quarter-past-nine on a Tuesday night, I've put the plan to test.
I found a loose board in the narrative of how we came undone,
I'm gonna pry it up tonight and build us a better one.

[Chorus]
Don't you worry, it's just like us before.
We'll spool it backwards, snip the wire, and say we've won the war.
We'll mend the break with a new first seam.

[Verse 2]
Remember on the Severn Bore, the water climbed the banks?
You said, "You always twist the story just to cover up your tracks."
The air got cold, it smelled of silt and promises unspun,
But that's a different timeline now, that one is dead and done.

[Chorus]
Don't you worry, it's just like us before.
I'll spool it backwards, snip the wire, and say I've won the war.
I'll mend the break with a new first seam.

[Bridge]
It's not a lie if it works better,
If the darned wool holds against the weather.

[Chorus]
Don't you worry, I'll make you like before.
I'll spool you backwards, snip your wires, you'll see I've won the war.
I'll mend you with a new first seam.
