Tightrope
Stone Deaf Lyrics

Well you ain’t no witch but you burn like sin
Although you are not literally a witch, your actions and behavior have a sinful, destructive nature.

Sheep don’t cry when they’re lonely
Even when they are feeling lonely or sad, people often hide their emotions and put on a brave face like sheep who don't express their feelings.

And my face is a lie, my grin a disguise
My outward appearance and smile do not reflect my true feelings and emotions, as they are merely a façade or disguise.

I know you’ll get by cause you told me
I believe that you will be able to cope and find a way to move forward because you have assured me of your strength and resilience.

And your delicate eyes, the truth in your lies
Although you may tell lies, I can see the honesty and vulnerability in your eyes.

You laugh with disdain to my surprise
To my surprise, you mockingly laugh with contempt or scorn towards me.

Bored with my time, empty inside
I feel uninterested and uninspired with the passing of time, and I sense a profound emptiness within myself.

The hell in my mouth it’s suicide
The torment or anguish I feel internally is so intense that it feels like a self-destructive act, akin to suicide.

Drive alone no end in sight when you lay awake alone in the night
When you find yourself awake and alone in the night, driving aimlessly without a clear destination or purpose.

Cause no one know the pain feels right
Because no one truly understands the intensity and comfort that pain can bring.

I don’t want you to go, I don’t want you to leave me
I desperately desire for you to stay by my side, as I fear being abandoned or left alone.

Well a lifetime of reach to strum on your limbs
Spending a lifetime reaching out and trying to touch or connect with the very essence of your existence.

Afraid in the corner so ragged and thin
Feeling fearful and isolated, trapped in a corner, and emotionally worn down.

This place is a lie, I promise I tried
This environment or situation is deceptive and false, and I assure you that I have made efforts to change it.

I know you get high cause you told me
I am aware that you find solace or escape by getting high, as you have confided in me about it.

Summon the hooks, we shave off the sin
Bringing forth the tools or methods of self-punishment, we attempt to remove or rid ourselves of our sins or wrongdoings.

Dummy destroyed at the end we begin
A representation of our false selves or the illusions we create is eradicated, signaling the start of a new phase or journey.

Pink bubblegum, a jewel in my void
Something seemingly sweet and enjoyable, like pink bubblegum, becomes a precious and rare source of light in the emptiness or void I feel.

Coffins of glass, its you I avoid
Metaphorically, I avoid confronting or engaging with the fragile and transparent truths or realities associated with you.
