Tight Rope Lyrics by Criteria

Years

2020

It’s just like any other day Impatience left me in a daze promises falling like the prey and the dead I leave
Behind my back the smaller talk just fades out of the dark makes its escape and finds a quiet place to lay down its dark head and finally die
I’m lighting matches to enflame the fire coursing through our veins and vanities we must escape

We starve today to walk high wires
A tight rope act
You’ll never retire
Release It
Release It

The tension breaks will crush your spine
The cause of it is already divined

Release it
Release it

If we escape this colder world
Underground
Never heard
Are we then just a part of the problem and not the cure
How many times have you tried to relocate your mind
To another place from where it is


We starve today to walk high wires
A tight rope act
You’ll never retire

Release It
Release It

The tension breaks will crush your spine
I made my bed, why you still lying in it

Release it
Release it

The constant is you don’t want to relate to
The voices in your head
They will not raise the dead
I remember a time when I could relocate your mind
To another place from where it is

We starve today to walk high wires
A tight rope act
You’ll never retire

Release It
Release It

The tension breaks will crush your spine
The cause of it is already divined

Release it
Release it
