Back Bone Lyrics by High Wire

Summer Wars / High Wire Split

0

I’m just a cog in a broken machine
Grinding my gears against these threaded teeth
I can’t leave and this can’t wait
I can fix anything except my own mistakes

So alternate the current back my way (woah-oh-oh woah-oh)
These moving parts all look the same (woah-oh-oh woah-oh)

I did my best I hope you did the same
There’s a chance you don’t even remember (my name)
It’s hard to see with your ego in the way
I guess I’ll see you around or whatever

All of my friends say I’m wasting my time, always coming up with an excuse
For carrying your weight, walking on thin ice, but I won’t let myself fall through
(I won’t let myself fall through)

I’m just a product of the things I’ve seen
Missing parts and faulty wiring
It’s all on me to make this work
Forget the things I could be, I’ll cater your needs fist

Walk off, I’ll find my own way out (woah-oh-oh)
You were the prop to my lack of back bone (Woah-oh-oh)

I did my best I hope you did the same
There’s a chance you don’t even remember (my name)
It’s hard to see with your ego in the way
I guess I’ll see you around or whatever

(You were the prop to my lack of back bone)

All of my friends say I’m wasting my time, always coming up with an excuse
For carrying your weight, walking on thin ice, but I won’t let myself fall through

All of my friends say I’m wasting my time, always coming up with an excuse
For carrying your weight, walking on thin ice, but I won’t let myself fall
