[Intro] [crowd cheering, melodic clean electric guitar lead, driving drums, overdriven rhythm guitar] [Verse 1] [palm-muted electric guitar, bass, and drums] Caught between the station break A cable hum that won't abate You caught the exit, checked the street Your heel keeps time with every beat The signal cuts, the footage flies You've lived this moment once or twice [Chorus] [full band, wide-panned power chords, crashing cymbals] Walking a wire The city's a choir Of sirens and dial tones Walking a wire One spark and the whole thing's On fire but you don't come down on your own [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar returns] The afterparty's a hollow room Someone's rehashing the same old tune You're watching life through Venetian blinds Counting shadows inside your mind It's not rebellion, not a phase Just a different way to spend the days [Chorus] [full band, layered vocal harmonies] Walking a wire The city's a choir Of sirens and dial tones Walking a wire One spark and the whole thing's On fire but you don't come down on your own [Bridge] [clean melodic guitar lead, driving rhythm section] [Verse 3] [bass and drums only, guitar enters gradually] I've learned to move when the floorboard creaks Learned the silence before I speak The tremolo's not a nervous shake It's a choice I make [Chorus] [full energy, distorted guitars] Walking a wire The city's a choir Of sirens and dial tones Walking a wire One spark and the whole thing's On fire but you don't come down on your own [Outro] [melodic guitar lead, final drum fill, crowd cheering]
