lyrics

This black bulb light, a crooked sight showing
everything you thought would turn out right.
A new-found place, a fucking case in which you
made up for yourself to keep your place.
Get your head out of the clouds. You one-man
crowd. You end up screaming it out loud.

I'm walking this tightrope. It's a long way down
if I fall. Though I'm not quite sure that I care if
I lose it all.
I'm running in circles chasing dreams that were long
gone. Whether I come back down is still too close to call.

A sucker-punch straight to your heart; defenses
down and you're not sure just where to start.
Can you relate to the part of the story that just rips
you through your heart?
Whiskey wants what you've got. Stop pretending
that you're someone that you're not.

A steady cut, a broken chin. It's not where
you've been but where you arrive.
Sure-fire love, a life of sin is where you begin
the perfect crime.

I'm walking this tightrope. It's a long way down
if I fall. Though I'm not quite sure that I care if
I lose it all.
I'm running in circles chasing dreams that were long
gone. Whether I come back down is still too close to call.
