The Wire
We cast the line to the beat of your heart
Paying no mind to what we might start
We drank the wine so that we might depart
From your ways and my elliptical art
Tell me a way it could all be fine
Show me a day where it all unwinds
Hail me a ride into a world alight with desire
Body and mind and the wind inside
Fought with the fire we begin to remind
Reading a sign in the sand we find desire
Desire
We fought the tides in the heat of your heart
Upon the waves we’d ride and then tear apart
We cast the net wide so that we might depart
From your ways and my cryptical art
Sailing away beyond the wall
Stealing the days we catch and fall
Feelings that fade, return and call on the wire
Fighting the waves and on out to sea
Floating away and finally free
Again we wheel and sway walking the wire
Walking the wire
The wire is life
the rest is just waiting around
Struggle and strife
fury and sound
The wire is death
just waiting to be found
From breath to breath
from above to underground
