“Hope dangles on a stringLike slow spinning redemptionWinding in and winding outThe shine of it has caught my eyeAnd roped me inSo mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated[Chorus]I am VindicatedI am selfishI am wrongI am rightI swear I'm rightI swear I knew it all alongAnd I am flawed But I am cleaning up so wellI am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourselfSo clearLike the diamond in your ringCut to mirror your intentionsOversized and overwhelmedThe shine of which has caught my eyeAnd rendered me so isolated, so motivatedI am certain now that[Chorus]So turnUp the corners of your lipsPart them and feel my finger tipsTrace the moment, fall foreverDefense is paper thinJust one touch and I'd be inToo deep now to ever swim against the currentSo let me slip away [3x]So let me slip against the current So let me slip away [4x][Chorus]Slight hopeIt dangles on a stringLike slow spinning redemption...”
