Hanging By A Thread
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.
Addicted, but just to the thought of being addicted
It's holding me back
So wrapped up, I know it's wrong but I can't quit it
I tried to hold my own
This life is all I know
My legs won't make it home
The ground breaks where my feet fall
Filthy hands that I'm ashamed to raise high
But I know that I need to
Cause without you I'm
Hanging by a thread
Give me a hand it's life or death
Try to clear my head
Feels like I'm stuck in quicksand
It's the ugly side of me
The part that you don't want to see
And I can't separate myself
From this hell im living
I think I'm losing control
I think I'm scared of letting go
I know I'm living the lie
It's time to take back my life
Filthy hands that I'm ashamed to raise high
But I know that I need to
Cause without you I'm
Hanging by a thread
Give me a hand it's life or death
Try to clear my head
Feels like I'm stuck in quicksand
It's all I think about
It's all i think about
Try to escape you're the only way out
Hanging by a thread
These chains are (a tired tread)?
My head is the first to criticize
While my heart's stuck fighting on the front lines
My head is the first to criticize
While my heart's stuck fighting on the front lines
Hanging by a thread
Give me a hand it's life or death
Try to clear my head
Feels like I'm stuck in quicksand
It's all I think about
It's all i think about
Try to escape you're the only way out
Hanging by a thread
These chains are (a tired tread)?
