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
