[Verse 1] Time is a wire Thin underfoot I carry the world Like a crooked fruit One hand for love One hand for bread One for tomorrow Above my head [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look down Don’t look out The crowd gets loud When you start to doubt [Chorus] Hold the rope Find the line Lose your step But not your time Bend, don’t break Fall, don’t end The rope will swing And rise again [Verse 2] More in my arms Less under me Years getting faster Weight getting deep Faces below me Counting each sway Waiting for ruin Or begging me stay [Pre-Chorus] Their eyes pull hard Their voices climb One little glance And I lose the line [Chorus] Hold the rope Find the line Lose your step But not your time Bend, don’t break Fall, don’t end The rope will swing And rise again [Bridge] Slip. Silence. Air. Then— the rope remembers what I forgot: balance is movement, not standing still. [Chorus] Hold the rope Find the line Lose your step But not your time Bend, don’t break Fall, don’t end The rope will swing And rise again [Outro] Time is the wire. Life is the weight. I am still walking. That is enough
