MAN ON ROPE

i'm a man on rope
i feel the wind has risen
if i'm meant to fall
will you catch me at the bottom?

i tried to find you for so long
in the books they've burnt
in the stories of courage and loss
will you ever hear me

i have many names
at the same time i'm none of these
will you feel the same
walking streets that i did

i tried to find you for so long
in the books they've burnt
in the stories of courage and loss
will you ever hear my sight

people stare from below
both astonished and mute
(and) i watch from above
officers try to go through

i have things to say
but feel like you won't understand
a perfect melody
that sounds no good outside my head

i tried to find you for so long
in the books they've burnt
in the stories of courage and loss
will you ever hear my sight

people stare from below
both astonished and mute
(and) i watch from above
officers try to go through

are we chasing the ball
running down an endless road?
holding snow in our hands
watching it melting down
