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
