Tightrope - Petal

I saw a strange light in the sky

A fireball burning brightly

I wished the truck on the overpass would

Tumble down upon me

The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold

The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold

I turn the heat up to feel the sting

My skin it felt the same

I felt the joint in my shoulder blade

It seemed to feel the same

I felt an ancient scream come out of my mouth

I felt an ancient scream come out of my mouth

What’s the margin for error?

I give myself a little

Tightrope walker, miracle clinger seeking acquittal

Who’s to say I don’t care?

I’m only drenched in holy water that

You stole from your father

Because you couldn’t help yourself

And the arc of our covenant was a rise and fall

A tailspin on my end we never saw coming

The scar on my lip I got when I was a kid

Transferred to you

Transferred to you

Transferred to you

The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold

The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold
