Walking Wires

Crack my back just to shake the disease Scratch my skin until it's numb and it bleeds Catch a glimpse it's like acid in your eyes Knew it was over when you said you could fly We were walking wires And were walking wires Gag my throat as I catch my breath They talk free 'cause they think we're deaf I was happy in a parallel dream And now it hurts and I can't even scream We were walking wires And were walking wires
