Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

And so motivated

I am certain now that I am

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

So turn up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my fingertips

Trace the moment, fall forever

[Bridge]

Defense is paper thin

Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now

To ever swim against the current

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

Slight hope dangles on a string

Like slow-spinning redemption
