Wire walks

How you hold on to bad news

I want to carry the sad out of you

You said that night, when the day lost the light

"If I'm walking on a wire

Slightly bent without an anchor

Could I come down without a fall

Catching clues of what I'm here for?"

Wound around that stubborn wound

Great Lakes have tantrums too

I lied when I said that time would catch your head

When I'm walking on a wire

Slightly bent without an anchor

Could I come down without a fall

Catching clues of what I'm here for?

Around and round that stubborn wound

The future can be the past too

You might need to lean

Into what you've always been

When I'm walking on a wire

Slightly bent without an anchor

Could I come down without a fall

Catching clues of what I'm here for?

When I hover over fires

With embers of misunderstandings

Can I come through without the burns

Catching cues of where I'm landing?
