Trust
Bears The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This world hangs by a slender thread, Trust
Wrapped up in a treacherous web, Trust
And one man pulls the string
Bring down the whole damn thing

don't betray my trust

With a surgeons drawing lines on skin, trust
When you aboard the plane and strap yourself in.
Its easy to understand we hold each others lives in our hands





don't betray my trust
