Tightrope

I've been dragging my feet leaving lines on the pavement as I go Won't find me whistling my way past the gates of the graveyards no more It's a long road back to redemption What they're selling don't feel like an answer To placate the visceral fear of the unknown Yeah, can't sustain how we're living now The hits They keep coming But I can't shake the feeling (there's something worth believing in) In the depths I've been wandering But I can't shake the feeling (there's something worth believing in) That all I've ever needed was you I get the feeling of walking high on a tightrope It seems there ain't enough nets but the fall shouldn't kill me I'm told It's a long way down better brace for what's coming Just a cold dirt floor and the crowd wants its money's worth I'm reduced to a spectacle Yeah, but my stance is unshaken The hits They keep coming But I can't shake the feeling (there's something worth believing in) In the depths I've been wandering But I can't shake the feeling (there's something worth believing in) That all I've ever needed was you Those perched high on the fence Will find themselves on the losing end State my case and in my defense I never claimed to be one of them And I'll turn my back on them Yeah, tides have turned and they're sinking in Yeah give me something worth living for Maybe odds insurmountable Knock me down and I'm back for more The hits that keep coming, you're all I've ever needed The hits They keep coming But I can't shake the feeling (there's something worth believing in) In the depths I've been wandering But I can't shake the feeling (there's something worth believing in) That all I've ever needed was you"
