Tightrope Walker Songtext
von Von Hertzen Brothers

Darkness has fallen
I can see those black spots grown back into your eyes

The accusations flying from your mouth
Sharp as knives

Oh, let me hear, let me hear that old phrase
Of me being always the one to blame for your life

Love is not around now, no

No matter how I try to please you
Your fits of rage hit me hard out of the blue
Before I know it, I′m back on the rope

All the words you crucify me with
Will never hold on the cross of our family
We'll go on cause there′s always hope

It's not an easy living
To see you fight your devils when
All I am is a burden on your heart


Hold on tight
I will keep us both on the upside
But I think to myself
Unless I grow wings
And learn how to soar
This tightrope walker is destined to fall

Tortured by demons, chased by snakes
I toss and turn for nights on end

With all abuse I will accept from you
To get you on the mend

Oh, my heart, oh my heart it breaks
But have I got what it takes to get us back on the ground?

Love is not around now, no

No matter how you criticize me
You cannot make me your worst enemy
We stick together, always as one

All the hurt that suffocates you now
Is just a passing of darkness anyhow
We walk together towards the sun

It's all forgiven
It′s not the words we live in
It′s a blood tie through the centers of our hearts


Hold on tight
I will keep us both on the upside
But I think to myself
Unless I grow wings
And learn how to soar
This tightrope walker is destined to fall

Unless I grow wings
And learn how to soar
This tightrope walker is destined to fall

Love, love, love
Is not around now
