Tightrope Walker

Darkness has fallen

I can see those black spots grown back into your eyes

The accusations flying from your mouth

Sharp as knives

Oh, let me hear, let me hear that old phrase

Of me being always the one to blame for your life

Love is not around now, no

No matter how I try to please you

Your fits of rage hit me hard out of the blue

Before I know it, I'm back on the rope

All the words you crucify me with

Will never hold on the cross of our family

We'll go on cause there's always hope

It's not an easy living

To see you fight your devils when

All I am is a burden on your heart

Hold on tight

I will keep us both on the upside

But I think to myself

Unless I grow wings

And learn how to soar

This tightrope walker is destined to fall

Tortured by demons, chased by snakes

I toss and turn for nights on end

With all abuse I will accept from you

To get you on the mend

Oh, my heart, oh my heart it breaks

But have I got what it takes to get us back on the ground?

Love is not around now, no

No matter how you criticize me

You cannot make me your worst enemy

We stick together, always as one

All the hurt that suffocates you now

Is just a passing of darkness anyhow

We walk together towards the sun

It's all forgiven

It's not the words we live in

It's a blood tie through the centers of our hearts

Hold on tight

I will keep us both on the upside

But I think to myself

Unless I grow wings

And learn how to soar

This tightrope walker is destined to fall

Unless I grow wings

And learn how to soar

This tightrope walker is destined to fall

Love, love, love

Is not around now
