I see a pink light six years away

A light from your eyes gone again

These days you cry for everything

And I’m still the exception

Carving your name a family crest

A declaration I must

Turn to another bad dream

I wish I could forget

I know mistakes are made

We couldn’t deny it

But you had to try it

I tried to be the bones and hold you up

You care about illusions more than you do blood

Everybody knows you hold them high above

You see the peak but reach out for the underdog

At least I kiss the brick before I hit you in the head

Sunkissed, hopeless, acro, mania, tempest

How unlucky is a man with open fists

If the truth hurts why am I being so honest

I know mistakes are made

We couldn’t deny it

But you had to try (why try)

I tried to be the bones and hold you up

You care about illusions more than you do blood

Everybody knows you hold them high above

You see the peak but reach out for the underdog

I tried to be the bones and hold you up

You care about illusions more than you do blood

Everybody knows you hold them high above

You see the peak but let yourself come undone

You’re on a high wire

Going 100 miles an hour

You’re on a high wire

And you can’t reach down

And I’m so tired

Cause the vision’s clear

I had a feeling you would disappear

I tried to be the bones and hold you up

You care about illusions more than you do blood

Everybody knows you hold them high above

You see the peak but let yourself come undone
