Above the walls to demolish
The acrobats' sons dance
I spent two hours in front of the mirror
To be sure it was me
Bread and circuses to make us believe
That the sea's prettier without waves
I spent two hours in front of the slaughterhouse
To be sure I wouldn't see you there
I camped at the foot of ivory towers
Eyes fixed on their railings
On faded dreams on every floor
On stories that end badly
But never forget I'd do for you
The first, the second and the third step
I'll only step back to jump better
I'm too scared of tipping to the wrong side
The heart is heavy, we'll always measure up
I've seen the sky ignite for way less than that
Foam up to our doorsteps
I hum the melody of the wounded
In the lounge, fake hugs
In the streets, Atlas's heirs
Some pornstars who dream at night
As the new prima ballerina
I'll go dislocate my jaw
Cry for those who made history
I'll pass my soul under blacklight
So I never hurt you
But never forget I'd do for you
The first, the second and the third step
I'll only step back to jump better
I'm too scared of tipping to the wrong side
The heart is heavy, we'll always measure up
I've seen the sky ignite for way less than that
Foam up to our doorsteps
I hum the melody of the wounded
But never forget I'd do for you
The first, the second and the third step
I'll only step back to jump better
I'm too scared of tipping to the wrong side
The heart is heavy, we'll always measure up
I've seen the sky ignite for way less than that
Foam up to our doorsteps
I hum the melody of the wounded
The heart is heavy, we'll always measure up
I've seen the sky ignite for way less than that
Foam up to our doorsteps
I hum the melody of the wounded
