ABOVE THE WIRE

You want to stop it
You can't go on
You think you're dying
The pain's soooo strong...
Your heart can't take it
Your mind's on fire
You want it over
It's so thin...
The wire

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Walking on the wire...
For such a long time now
A true test of balance
That you survive somehow
Oh, the turmoil
That awful mess below
You want it over
Cause all it does is grow...
And you're so tired
So tired
Of the wire
~~*~~

You pray, just end this
Or help me please
You know I give up
I feel so weak...
My heart can't take this
A mind on fire
I want this over
I hate it
This wire

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
You think the wires growing thinner
Feel the strength left start to wither
And the ones who love you closing in
Here to show you...
Show you how you always win...
How you've fought,  and how you've helped
Lift other people from their hell
They all know the you, you sacrifice
Their angel 
Their angel held up by a wire 

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Walking on the wire...
For such a long time now
A true test of balance
And you've survived somehow
Oh, the turmoil
That awful mess below
Leave it down there
And above it float...
Above the wire
