Fates
Weave their threads
Our lives are sewn

Born
To a life
All but our own

They’ll follow you to

Run all you like
From the place you belong
It’s always there

Y'know what, I'm gonna take like nine days and pick a song from most of the Electric Light Orchestra albums that I have (but not all of them).

But I can't help but think of Sparity for some reason whenever I hear this song.

The Diary of Horace Wimp by Electric Light Orchestra from the 1979 album Discovery.
