Tightrope - Petal
I saw a strange light in the sky
A fireball burning brightly
I wished the truck on the overpass would
Tumble down upon me
The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold
The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold
I turn the heat up to feel the sting
My skin it felt the same
I felt the joint in my shoulder blade
It seemed to feel the same
I felt an ancient scream come out of my mouth
I felt an ancient scream come out of my mouth
What's the margin for error
I give myself a little
Tightrope walker miracle clinger seeking acquittal
Who's to say I don't care
I'm only drenched in holy water that you stole
From your father because you couldn't help yourself
And the arc of our covenant was a rise and fall
A tailspin on my end we never saw coming
The scar on my lip I got when I was a kid transferred to you
Transferred to you transferred to you
The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold
The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold
