Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been walking on a wire
I never took you for a liar
Strain your eyes to meet the road
Another fateful episode
[Chorus]
You faked it far too long
You know that you are wrong
You're living deep inside a shell
So hard to breathe, but you can't tell
If you begin to choke
You pull a master stroke
You're living deep inside a shell
[Verse 2]
You've been hanging by a rope
And you can see that there's no hope
Don't be quick to judge my tongue
Sometimes the weak become the strong
[Chorus]
You faked it far too long
You know that you are wrong
You're living deep inside a shell
So hard to breathe, but you can't tell
If you begin to choke
You pull a master stroke
You're living deep inside a shell
[Instrumental]
You faked it far too long
You know that you are wrong
You're living deep inside a shell
So hard to breathe, but you can't tell
If you begin to choke
You pull a master stroke
You're living deep inside
You're living deep inside
You're living deep inside a shell
[Outro]
You've been hanging by a rope
Hanging by a rope
Hanging by a rope
