lyrics

TIGHTROPE
Tightrope calling, madmen falling
How can this be a dream?
Walking upon the water so long
Has made the earth feel clean.
I've met the statues of years,
The poets of fears,
And no one in between.
I've torn emotions asunder to see what's inside,
Was blinded by the scene.

The lion jumps a ring of fire,
At the center ring I walk the wire.

To sleep beneath the broken glass
Is not to make a sound.
To live upon the highway so long
Making way for the burial mounds.
It takes the faith of a sinner,
Who has never known sin,
And need not be profound,
To open doorways to heaven
For those who have questioned
Existence on the ground.

How can one rise from this land
Before their ascension day?
When I've nothing more to say?
I've seen hallowed out faces
Who've fall'n from their graces,
So I've walked off on my way,
To find a place I can run to
A hill i can climb,
Some grass where I can lay.
