You always find a way back. You're light as a feather and your touch is barely noticeable, but then I feel every thread untwine, I feel it drape over me like the heaviest curtain in the world. I'm stuck and I can't breathe. I can't lift this curtain off of me. I can't move and I don't want to move. I used to fly with the birds - I used to be light as a feather. but now there's rain plummeting from the sky and drenching me, making me heavy as a curtain. You always find a way back.

light as a feather / stiff as a board
You always find a way back. You're light as a feather and your touch is barely noticeable, but then I feel every thread untwine, I feel it drape over me like the heaviest curtain in the world. I'm stuck and I can't breathe. I can't lift this curtain off of me. I can't move and I don't want to move. I used to fly with the birds - I used to be light as a feather. but now there's rain plummeting from the sky and drenching me, making me heavy as a curtain. You always find a way back.
