You've been walkin' on a wire
I never took you for a liar
Strain your eyes to meet the road
Another fateful episode

You faked it far too long
You know that you are wrong
You're livin' deep inside a shell
So hard to breathe but you can't tell
If you begin to choke
You pull a master stroke
You're livin' deep inside a shell

You've been hangin' by a rope
And you can see that there's no hope
Don't be quick to judge my tongue
Sometimes the weak become the strong

You faked it far too long
You know that you are wrong
You're livin' deep inside a shell
So hard to breathe but you can't tell
If you begin to choke
You pull a master stroke
You're livin' deep inside a shell

You faked it far too long
You know that you are wrong
You're livin' deep inside a shell
So hard to breathe but you can't tell
If you begin to choke
You pull a master stroke
You're livin' deep inside
You're livin' deep inside
You're livin' deep inside a shell

You've been hanging by a rope
Hanging by a rope
Hanging by a rope
