Wires

[Verse 1] I’m sorry for not calling back I’ve been Staying home, sleeping in Waiting in the wings where no one bothers me and I watch whole weeks pass impatiently Reflect on everything I’ve seen The target on the TV The black suits standing in the street Why would you take your medicine again? I swear the water’s fucking poison And the doctors are complicit in your slow decline Your right to be wrong Not really a lost cause, there’s just no cause to carry on Whoa [Verse 2] You don’t need to be a martyr to draw blood Don’t need a heart to fall in love I ain’t chosen to be vacant but it just fits me like a glove So when you see me shouting blindly at the sun I’m not really a lost cause, there’s just no cause to carry on [Chorus] In chemicals I’ll right the wheel You told me so, when you sidled in Well I slept for days But I didn’t dream I’ll walk the wire The balance beam On a balance beam Add it up and swallow it Piece it back together Piece it back together Add it up and swallow it [Chorus] In chemicals I’ll right the wheel You told me so, when you sidled in Well I slept for days And I didn’t dream I’ll walk the wire The balance beam I might lose my feet On a balance beam But I’ll walk the wire
