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

Over sized and overwhelmed, the shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me so isolated and so motivated

I am certain now that 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 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’ll be in

Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

So let me slip away, so let me slip against the current

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

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

Slight hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Don’t let your happiness depend on something you may lose.
