lyrics

Scarred by time and bruised by bitter days
With a rusty, haggard frame and a cynical gaze
Worn out where the years took their toll
Trying to turn these shattered shards into something whole

I’m banging on a tight wire
Trying to find meaning in the coughs and the rattles
I’m banging on a tight wire
Turning it into a song

Most of the greatest lessons I have learned
Fell out of the failures that left me feeling burned
This road is hard and this world sure ain’t kind
But my broken parts are a sign that I’m alive

I’m banging on a tight wire
Trying to find meaning in the coughs and the rattles
I’m banging on a tight wire
Turning it into a song

I’m playing with a wild fire
Creating control
I’m playing with a wild fire
It’s all I know

I’m banging on a tight wire
Trying to find meaning in the coughs and the rattles
I’m banging on a tight wire
Turning it into a song
