Tightwire - Blood Red Shoes

Get in line against the wall

I’ve heard enough from your black tongue

Whichever way I turn around

I’m taunted by a voice on the ground

There’s already miles to go

I’ve got nothing left here to hold

Got so many footsteps to go

Heavy from the burden that I chose

Hanging on a tightwire

Hanging on a tightwire

Tied up in this quiet trial

Hanging on a tightwire

Keep your eyes on everyone

Two false moves, blink and it’s gone

Nothing waits for you to start

No time to mend a fractured heart

It was over hours ago

There is nothing left to unfold

It was finished so long ago

Weighed down by the story I was told
