tightwire

blood red shoes

get in line against the wall

i've heard enough from your black tongue

whichever way i turn around

i'm taunted by a voice on the ground

there's already miles to go

i've got nothing left here to hold

got so many footsteps to go

heavy from the burden that i chose

hanging on a tightwire

hanging on a tightwire

tied up in this quiet trial

hanging on a tightwire

keep your eyes on everyone

two false moves

blink and it's gone

nothing waits for you to start

no time to mend a fractured heart

it was over hours ago

there is nothing left to unfold

it was finished so long ago

weighed down by the story i was told

hanging on a tightwire

hanging on a tightwire

tied up in this quiet trial

hanging on a tightwire

hanging on a tightwire

hanging on a tightwire

tied up in this quiet trial

hanging on a tightwire

hanging on a tightwire

hanging on a tightwire

tied up in this quiet trial

hanging on a tightwire
