I'm sorry for not calling back I've been Staying home, sleeping in Waiting in the wings where no one bothers me and I watch whole weeks pass impatiently Reflect on everything I've seen The target on the TV The black suits standing in the street Why would you take your medicine again? I swear the water's fucking poison And the doctors are complicit in your slow decline Your right to be wrong Not really a lost cause, there's just no cause to carry on Whoa You don't need to be a martyr to draw blood Don't need a heart to fall in love I ain't chosen to be vacant but it just fits me like a glove So when you see me shouting blindly at the sun I'm not really a lost cause, there's just no cause to carry on In chemicals I'll right the wheel You told me so, when you sidled in Well I slept for days But I didn't dream I'll walk the wire The balance beam On a balance beam Add it up and swallow it Piece it back together Piece it back together Add it up and swallow it In chemicals I'll right the wheel You told me so, when you sidled in Well I slept for days And I didn't dream I'll walk the wire The balance beam I might lose my feet On a balance beam But I'll walk the wire
