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, and so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
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 intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, and so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So tired
of the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, for 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
So let me slip away [4x]

[Chorus]

my hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...
