Word Thingys: Salome Strangelove
The wire is there to remind us that everyone falls
And everyone climbs
The wire is there to remind us of everything real
And everything binding
The wire is there and doesn’t care about right
The wire is there and will hide in the light
The wire is there
The wire is there
The wire is there
For you
Sway and swing and dance on the line
You’re all it can bear
Sweat and strain and push for the line
You’re all it can bear
The wire is there to remind you that everything breaks
And everything bleeds
The wire is there to remind you that everyone lies
And everyone cheats
The wire is there
The wire is there
The wire is there
For you
Heel and toe and arc of the thread
You’re all it can bear
Mind and beat and soul of the thread
You’re all it can bear
The wire is there to remind you that everyone tries
And everyone fails
The wire is there to remind you that everything hurts
And everything heals
The wire is there
The wire is there
The wire is there
For you
And you will love it
And you will hate it
And you will need it
And you will feed it
The wire is there and will tell you the truth
And you will love it
And you will hate it
And you will need it
And you will feed it
The wire is there and only it holds the proof
The wire is there to remind us that everyone falls
And everyone falls
And everyone falls
The wire is there
The wire is there
The wire is there
For you
