Threads

David Leonard names the exhaustion of self-management directly in "Threads" — "tired of trying to keep it all together, tired of lies disguising who I really am." The song treats hiding pain as its own draining labor, distinct from the pain itself, which is why the offered relief isn't comfort but unraveling.

"I'm gonna let You pull the threads 'til my heart unravels, open me up with every breath 'til the darkness scatters and runs away" reframes falling apart as the actual goal rather than the danger being avoided — the whole carefully maintained exterior is the thing that needs to come undone. "I'm ready to fall apart, fall into Your loving arms" ties the collapse directly to a landing point rather than leaving it as free fall.

"You see me as I am, still You want me" answers the fear that honesty ends in rejection, and "You stitch me back together with Your grace" closes the song's thread metaphor completely — the same pulling apart that felt like destruction turns out to be part of a repair already underway.
