Petal - Tightrope lyrics

I saw a strange light in the sky A fireball burning brightly I wished the truck on the overpa** would Tumble down upon me The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold I turn the heat up to feel the sting My skin it felt the same I felt the joint in my shoulder blade It seemed to feel the same I felt an ancient scream come out of my mouth I felt an ancient scream come out of my mouth What’s the margin for error? I give myself a little Tightrope walker, miracle clinger seeking acquittal Who’s to say I don’t care? I’m only drenched in holy water that you stole from your father because you couldn’t help yourself And the arc of our covenant was a rise and fall A tailspin on my end we never saw coming The scar on my lip I got when I was a kid transferred to you, transferred to you, transferred to you The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold The truth is just a piece of coal dressed as gold
