Walk On A Wire

Lessons learned like swordplay
Give me two and I won't give ground
The girl falls like a landslide
Holding her breath from town to town
Water waiting like a lifeline
Holding hope when no one's around
I am looking for an anchor
In this cement sea to hold me down

The man breaks the back of the tired
Hoping nothing will end today
We all walk on a wire
Sometimes I wish you'd pull that safety net away

We have luck on our side
We have something they can't hide
We hold our hearts like a great mystery
Knowing full well everyone can see
In every lie lies the greatness
That is in everyone's capacity
If the knight storms this fortress
Will the bridges burn to the sea?
