| Hope dangles on a string
|
| Like slow-spinning redemption
|
| Winding in, and winding out
|
| The shine of it has caught my eye
|
| And roped me in so mesmerizing
|
| So hypnotizing
|
| I am captivated
|
| I am
|
| Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong
|
| I am right, I swear I’m right
|
| Swear I knew it all along
|
| And I am flawed
|
| But I am cleaning up so well
|
| I am seeing in me now
|
| The things you swore you saw yourself
|
| So clear, like the diamond in your ring
|
| Cut to mirror your intention
|
| Oversized, and overwhelmed
|
| The shine of which has caught my eye
|
| And rendered me so isolated
|
| So motivated
|
| I am certain now that
|
| I am
|
| Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong
|
| I am right, I swear I’m right
|
| Swear I knew it all along
|
| And I am flawed
|
| But I am cleaning up so well
|
| I am seeing in me now
|
| The things you swore you saw yourself
|
| So turn up the corners of your lips
|
| Part them and feel my fingertips
|
| Trace the moment, fall forever
|
| Defense is paper-thin
|
| Just one touch, and I’d been in
|
| Too deep now to ever swim against the current
|
| So let me slip away
|
| So let me slip away
|
| So let me slip away
|
| So let me slip against the current
|
| So let me slip away
|
| So let me slip away
|
| So let me slip away
|
| So let me slip away
|
| Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong
|
| I am right, I swear I’m right
|
| Swear I knew it all along
|
| And I am flawed
|
| But I am cleaning up so well
|
| I am seeing in me now
|
| The things you swore you saw yourself
|
| Like hope dangles on a string
|
| Like slow-spinning redemption |
