Crack my back Just to shake the disease
Scratch my skin until it's numb and it bleeds
Catch a glimpse it's like acid in your eyes
Knew it was over when you said you could fly

We were walking wires

Gag my throat as I catch my breath
They talk free 'cause they think we're deaf
I was happy in a parallel dream
Now it hurts and I can't even scream

We were walking wires
