Trapeze Artist

[Verse 1]
Pull it together
Even the score
Brothers all fighting 'til Mom kicked in the door
Bobby at war
Maybe I'm ready
Why's momma sad?
Fallin' forever
God save the trapeze artist

[Chorus]
Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track? (God save the trapeze artist)
In the strangest dream
I'm sick and I'm scared and I'm high on a trapeze

[Verse 2]
My mouth is on fire
But nobody sees me
Salt of the earth, so sprinkle it easy
There was love in the house, believe me
Drink by the water
Fear is my only daughter
And ever since she was born
She's had freezin' skin
But her eyes are warm
And her heart is spilling
Pale, white, sick, and thin
The drugstore killing
My voice is gone and it used to be so strong
The reaper's ready for the harvest
And fear is where my broken heart is
In a circus tent
All grown up and gone
She's climbin' the ladder
God save the trapeze artist

[Chorus]
Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track? (God save the trapeze artist)
In the strangest dream
I'm sick and I'm scared and I'm high on a trapeze

[Chorus]
Can we walk the shadow right back? (God save the trapeze artist)
Can we walk together down the track?
Jesus, take my pain
I'm ready to jump
If your angel can catch me

[Chorus]
Can we walk the shadow right back? (God save the trapeze artist)
Can we walk together down the track?
In the strangest dream
I'm sick and I'm scared and I'm high on a trapeze

[Chorus]
Can we walk the shadow right back?
Can we walk together down the track?
Jesus, take my pain
I'm ready to jump
If your angel can catch me
