lyrics

caught swinging from paper chains
I won't pretend I'm safe
my slice of time's cut thin
one slip and this trip caves in

I can't swing from these paper chains
I won't pretend I'm safe
look out below
I think I might let go
hanging above the flames
I can't swing from these paper chains...

blood stained and singled out
heavy steps over hollow ground
trapped thoughts and cloudy eyes
an easy target with a thin disguise

I can't swing from these paper chains
I won't pretend I'm safe
look out below
I think I might let go
hanging above the flames
I can't swing from these paper chains...

I'm dropping the slack in the water
it's not that I 'd fall any farther
it's just hard to track my place on the map
and it haunts me too much to look back

I can't swing from these paper chains
I won't pretend I'm safe
look out below
I think I might let go
hanging above the flames
I can't swing from these paper chains...

I can't swing from these paper chains
I can't swing from these paper chains
