Hope dangles on a string 

Like slow spinning redemption 

Winding in and winding out 

The shine of it has caught my eye 

And roped me in 

So mesmerizing, and so hypnotizing 

I am captivated, 

I am... 



 

Vindicated 

I am selfish 

I am wrong 

I am right 

I swear I'm right 

Swear I knew it all along 

And I am flawed 

But I am cleaning up so well 

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself 



So clear 

Like the diamond in your ring 

Cut to mirror your intention 

Oversized and overwhelmed 

The shine of which has caught my eye 

And rendered me so isolated, so motivated 

I am certain now that I am... 



 



So turn

Up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my finger tips

Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin

Just one touch and I'd be in

Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away  

So let me slip against the current 

So let me slip away  



 



Like hope 

Dangles on a string 

Like slow spinning redemption...
