Fragile Balance

(Intro: face paced, rhymical clean strummed guitar. The drums are clinical and driving.) (Verse 1) [strumming guitar] Sneak in creep in slide in crawl Waiting for the sky to finally fall You’re a frantic pulse in a silent room A flower waiting for the winter gloom Crush the life, raise the dead what about the stuff we never said You’re running on an atomic high With a pretty face and a broken eye. (Chorus) There’s a time to heal and a time to hurt To drag your precious soul through the dirt A time to run till you’re out of breath A time to sleep a little slice of death It’s the symmetry of the break and the mend A fragile balance on which we depend... (Verse 2) [strumming guitar] The sunlight spreads like a killing spree A cruel reminder of what’s meant to be You’re a paper plane in a hurricane Trying to find the pleasure in the pain So shut the curtains, dim the lights We’re the kings and queens of the lonely nights Rest your head on the jagged edge Of every broken, whispered pledge. (Chorus) There’s a time to heal and a time to hurt To drag your precious soul through the dirt A time to run till you’re out of breath A time to sleep a little slice of death It’s the symmetry of the break and the mend A fragile balance on which we depend... (Guitar Solo: clean guitar with delay.) (Verse 3) [strumming guitar] The perfect hum of the evening air Is enough to make you strip and stare The pendulum stops, the moment is still Against the weight of the strongest will You’re finally found in the deep divide With nowhere left to sneak and hide So take the scar and take the grace Until there’s nothing left of this place. (Chorus) There’s a time to heal and a time to hurt To drag your precious soul through the dirt A time to run till you’re out of breath A time to sleep a little slice of death It’s the symmetry of the break and the mend A fragile balance on which we depend. (Outro) [90s style guitar solo with delay]
