(+) Wires
[Verse 1]
I’m sorry for not calling back, I’ve been
Staying home, sleeping in
Waiting in the wings where no one bothers me
And I watch whole weeks pass impatiently
Reflect on everything I’ve seen
A target on the TV, the black suits standing on the street
Well would you take your medicine again?
I swear the water’s fucking poison
And the doctors are complicit in your slow decline
You’re right to be [?]
You’re not really a lost cause, there’s just no cause to carry on
Whoa
[Verse 2]
Don’t need to be a martyr to draw blood
Or need a heart to fall in love
I ain’t chosen to be vacant
But it just fits me like a glove
So if you see me shouting blindly at the sun
I’m not really a lost cause, there’s just no cause to carry on
[Chorus]
In chemicals, I’ll ride the wheel
You told me so and you soiled it
I slept for days, but I didn’t dream
I’ll walk the wire, the balance beam
The balance beam
I did all the swallowing
Piece it back together
Piece it back together
I did all the swallowing
[Chorus]
In chemicals I’ll ride the wheel
You told me so and you soiled it
I slept for days, but I didn’t dream
I’ll walk the wire, the balance beam
The balance beam
I might lose my feet
On the balance beam
But I’ll walk the wire
