Q&A
High Wire Escape Artist Lyrics
Bleed out all empathy
This vessel has no spirit
Left to hold on
To lies I’ve lived in full
How long can I hold tight
With every movement
Tension binds and denies
My true nature
The balance has shifted
Warped sick and twisted
Grabbing at angels when I fall
Because I am more than this idol Endless recital
For all my demons to applaud
I am free
Hide myself from it all
While every fear is
Screaming night into dawn
Until I find
The balance has shifted
Warped sick and twisted
Grabbing at angels when I fall
Because I am more than this idol Endless recital
For all my demons to applaud
I am free
I have to believe them (lies)
In order to attain fulfillment
I have to succumb to (lies)
All my inner fears that tear at me
I will never believe them (lies)
I’m sick of the weakness that controls me - Now that I¹ve fallen - I will not repent
This vessel has no spirit
Left to hold on
To lies I’ve lived in full
How long can I hold tight
With every movement
Tension binds and denies
My true nature
Warped sick and twisted
Grabbing at angels when I fall
Because I am more than this idol Endless recital
For all my demons to applaud
I am free
While every fear is
Screaming night into dawn
Until I find
Warped sick and twisted
Grabbing at angels when I fall
Because I am more than this idol Endless recital
For all my demons to applaud
I am free
In order to attain fulfillment
I have to succumb to (lies)
All my inner fears that tear at me
I will never believe them (lies)
I’m sick of the weakness that controls me - Now that I¹ve fallen - I will not repent

Kick ass song right here.
i sing in the car to this song all the time. one of my favorites, one of the only ones i still listen to all the time when it comes to BSF. his voice is crazy good in this song.
Guess what people! BOYSETSFIRE IS FROM MY STATE, BIOTCH. Delaware all the way. They just played a show here, the first in a few years, too. they played on 10/30/04. It pissed me off that I couldn't go. The guy that holds the shows banned me :(
I think this song is about trying to be a good person when you have an evil conscience that's telling you to be a bad person.
