Tripping Wire Lyrics

Your blood's made of stars just like all of us are
But we're held by the weight of the worlds calloused arms
It sings us to sleep with its numbing lullabies
Look at the child so empty and mild
Doped on a love that could kill the wild and
Walking closer and nearing the tripping wire

You know it's gonna hurt sometimes
It doesn't mean it's not worthwhile
To feel the ups and downs that make us alive
So if it makes you smile
Oh you lovely child
Hold on to that for the rest of your life

The darkness grows like a cancerous hole
Fills us with poison that will wilt our souls
But we keep playing this vicious cycle game
We can't pay the bills but we can pay for the pills
To cover up what we the world instilled
And God only know if this will ever change

You know it's gonna hurt sometimes
It doesn't mean it's not worthwhile
To feel the ups and downs that make us alive
So if it makes you smile
Oh you lovely child
Hold on to that for the rest of your life

Look at the child so empty and mild
Doped on a love that could kill the wild and
Walking closer and nearing the tripping wire
