Track Insight / Lyrics
Your boots kiss steel at five degrees
The orchard holds its frozen breath
Wire hums beneath your frozen knees
Day exhales its final depth
Pole rests horizontal in your grip
Pear branches scratch the violet sky
Gloves worn thin at every fingertip
Wind tastes like iron, cold and dry
High wire, high wire, you walk the line
High wire, high wire, the cold defines
High wire, high wire, you own the night
High wire, high wire, the shadows bite
Breath clouds rise and dissolve in air
Ladder waits where you climbed at dawn
Harness clips sing a quiet prayer
Gravity pulls but you hold on
High wire, high wire, you walk the line
High wire, high wire, the cold defines
High wire, high wire, you own the night
High wire, high wire, the shadows bite
The wire sings a hymn you know
Altos hum in the chest below
No safety net, no crowd, no show
Just balance and the dying glow
Fingers numb around the aluminum
Eyes scan rows for any sway
Heart keeps time with pendulum
You're the watchman until the day
Dawn will crack the horizon soon
Trucks arrive with crates and steam
But for now you hold the moon
Balanced on a silver beam
High wire, high wire, you walk the line
High wire, high wire, the cold defines
High wire, high wire, you own the night
High wire, high wire, the shadows bite
High wire, you walk the line
High wire, the cold defines
