Lyrics
Wires
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Carefully cut the wire and wait
Life is a series of narrow escapes
A chain reaction
A loose thread that we must pull
The birth of religion
In the challenge unknown
But all desperation leads to a fork in the road
We live for understanding
Or for control
So very carefully we'll cut the wire and wait
With one eye closed
We'll draw back
Catch our breath and let go
Time is the string in between
The arrow and the bow
If there's one thing we've learned
As our pulse returns
Timing is everything
If life is a series of narrow escapes
We're shifting our weight
In this tightrope ballet
We're down to the wire
