How Thin

You walk the walk today

You talk the talk

You feel the bitterness that surrounds the art

You hear the tenderness in which they harm

And dance along the dance

You smile at their smile

They feed upon your dreams

They warm to your skin

Another round has come

The same people have won

The air got all dry

When you slid out that sigh

And wandered off alone

Cause you couldn't get high

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

Your heart is racing

Knowing all its goals

Take in the moment

Be on your own

Mind your feet

And tamp down their lies

Spring for the moments that make us alive

And I realize how thin the string can be

And I realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be

And you realize how thin the string can be
