Walking on the Faultlines Lyrics
It was obvious, but I just couldn't see it
How to stay on the playlist, stay edgeless and pretty
How to avoid the red marks, that are so carelessly damning
To shake off the truth and retain the glamour
Have you heard all the stars that are relentlessly living?
You care that the world can be so unforgiving
It's so desperately easy to fall out of orbit
Now I'm all but out and it's so certainly for it
There's only one more step I know
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess I'm ready...here we go
I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There's nowhere else to go
In the end will be my beginning
To get on the A-list I'll just quitt when I'm winning
To forgive not forget, to repent not regret
And to close my eyes would be my bravest move yet
And I wake up and it's my finest hour
Then the party ends and the sweetness turns sour
It's so desperately easy for me to employ it
The only catch is I'm not here to enjoy it
There's only one more step I know
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess I'm ready...here we go
I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go
Whoo-whey, whoo-whey, whoo whoo
There's only one more step I know
I guess I'm ready...here we go
I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go
I've been getting drunk and playing with matches
Listening to the radio in the bath
I've been crossing main roads with my eyes closed
With my name in lights or my name in stone
How to stay on the playlist, stay edgeless and pretty
How to avoid the red marks, that are so carelessly damning
To shake off the truth and retain the glamour
You care that the world can be so unforgiving
It's so desperately easy to fall out of orbit
Now I'm all but out and it's so certainly for it
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess I'm ready...here we go
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There's nowhere else to go
To get on the A-list I'll just quitt when I'm winning
To forgive not forget, to repent not regret
And to close my eyes would be my bravest move yet
Then the party ends and the sweetness turns sour
It's so desperately easy for me to employ it
The only catch is I'm not here to enjoy it
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess I'm ready...here we go
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go
I guess I'm ready...here we go
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go
Listening to the radio in the bath
I've been crossing main roads with my eyes closed
With my name in lights or my name in stone
