High Wire

from What of Doom? by Pyrophoria

/

lyrics

High wire act
The liar on the trapeze
That sees
Only black keys
Ill at ease
Knows nothing like Socrates
No guarantees
She won’t fall with weak knees
A forest has how many trees
Seize
The heroine please
She’s
Heroin to me
To free
Or not free
I cannot be
Myself
But everyone else
Wants to see
Come one come none
Come from
The numb
Blind I am, deaf and dumb
See the light, too bright
I am done
Master of acrobatics
That fixed
Addicts
The attic
Match lit
Das licht
Sprach nicht
Blacklist
That this
Dat dit
Had missed
Acrobatics
At its
Finest
Why must
Life just
Fein muss
By dusk
Sein musst
Ein kunst
Lies just
Frei musst
Trust
In the lust
Brushed
The dust
Covered in rust
I combust

High wire
Live wire
Good liar
Leider
Desire
Der neider
trage gelbe Kleider
And inspire with fire
Knife flyer
Schneider
Go higher
Losing balance its dire
I’m no pacifier
I run til I tire
Then I run so far
I forget who they are
I cannot go on
In this song
She doesn’t belong
The act
Jam-packed
With those I attract
Distract
Infract
I am attacked
The Fallen to be exact
They Cease to react
She is a fool ransacked
A heirloom that cracked
I blacked
Out
In fact
Backed out
Of the act
I fell so long I forgot
Who I was I was shot
Down
I got caught
Mid thought
With hands that were red
I’m dead
I should’ve fled instead
Light of a train ahead
High wire act couldn’t lightly tread
Your life is a lie they said
I laughed as I bled

This is a shit show that we three wing
You play the clowns and I’ll master the ring
Just get on the trapeze and swing
I bend backwards with the crowd on a string
I walk the wire and get everything
