Inspired by Little Liar by Julia Gray

lyrics

Tightrope



You're just doing everything 

That you can not to drown

At least that's what you tell yourself

While the curtain's coming down


On another little tragedy

Or maybe just a farce

And still you cross your fingers

There behind you, in the dark



The colors run together

And the coins are thrown forever

An instrument of trust


Achieve the speed of falling

By the time they split the surface

Never break the veil of dust


Around you



Where's the fairy godmother saying

You will go to the ball?

Now you've pinned the angel's wings

You've collected, on the wall


See the tightrope swinging

So much harder than before

When the latch goes click

You're on the wrong side of the door



The colors run together

And the coins are thrown forever

An instrument of trust


Achieve the speed of falling

By the time they split the surface

Never break the veil of dust


Around you Around you Around you



And savage flows the river

Between me and my forgiver

Across the boundary


And so there comes the wishing

Alone with all the wanting

As far as I can see


The colors run together

The coins are thrown forever


Can you see the speed I'm falling

Can you hear my voice is calling


Around you Around you Around you
