lyrics

I've never been very fond of listening to the odds
They've got a false sense of authority
I could spend my entire life overdosing on advice
But I just gotta know what I can be
So the only choice left for me
is fly or hit the cold concrete

I am sleep walking on a wire please don't wake me up
Because the fall has killed better men than me
I'll show you grace
Just let me dream

Oh love I know the money's tight
But I swear that I will do you right
Please just put away your guillotine
I understand you've got your reasons
Cause you've loved kings and felt their treason
But babe I swear that blade aint meant for me
Cause the embers in my chest glow brighter
and now I'm breathing fire

Face to face with my own faith
in a delicate dance nobody sees
I feel her hips sway in my inky hands
then the glass runs out of sand
