down to the wire (demo)

lord have mercy on me

for all the wrong i've done

and although

we both know

that i should not have run

i'm a desperate man

with a desperate cause

for reasons i shall not give

just add it on to that list you keep

of sins that i live with

are you strong enough tonight?

are you man enough to try?

are you ready to give up and say good bye?

are you more afraid to live than to die?

you have one second to decide

down to the wire

closer to the flame

down to the wire

closer to the flame

and if you get too close to the fire

then you'll only get burned again

you fall down to the wire

spare me your sympathy i don't need it

i spend more then half of my days feeling defeated

i once bought a second hand bible but i didn't need it

i'm a broken man

with a broken heart

preparing to pay for my crime

just like this cigarette in my head

my memory will burn in time

are you strong enough tonight?

are you man enough to try?

are you ready to give up and say good bye?

are you more afraid to live than to die?

you have one second to decide

down to the wire

close to the flame

down to the wire

closer to the flame

and if you get too close to the fire

then you'll only get burned again

you fall down to the wire

down to the wire

closer to the flame

down to the wire

closer to the flame

and if you get too close to the fire

then you'll only get burned again

down to the wire

down to the wire
