Hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Winding in and winding out

The shine of which has caught my eye

And roped me in

So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing 

I am captivated
 [bad word] 

I am Vindicated

I am selfish

I am wrong

I am right

I swear I'm right

I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed 

But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear

Like the diamond in your ring

Cut to mirror your intentions

Oversized and overwhelmed

The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me so isolated, so motivated

I am certain now that
 [bad word] 

So turn

Up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my finger tips

Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin

Just one touch and I'd be in

Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away [3x]

So let me slip against the current 

and let me slip away [4x]
 [bad word] 

Slight hope

It dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption...
