Lyrics Where the Twain Shall Meet - Screaming Trees

Where the Twain Shall Meet

All right now
Push against the wooden table
A sliver cut no trace of pain
I lose its image as it blurs away
I feel the rope as it slowly frays
(Chorus)
You never know where the twain shall meet
You never know which one stays
Keep aware of the trap that snares
And which one stays
Statue people move like dripping water
It’s a nail into the cracking ice
You sleep with thoughts of a coming day
I drag behind on a frozen chain
(repeat chorus)
Which one stays
So I’m down but I don’t know what way I’m going
So very long and it doesn’t matter where this has gone
Slide a coin into the magic light machine
Watch a story that is never free
It takes a toll and it melds you wise
Keeps you alone nearly all the time
You never know where the twain shall meet
