Gypsy Kyss - Hung By A Thread (live) Lyrics
So here I stand : Face to face with the worldSo curled up in reality : Suffocating in the womb of moral receiptOften I feel the blood as it flows through my veinsGushing life through my heart. Pumping thoughts to my brainHang myself out like a sheet soaking wetFor I long to feel winds that I haven't felt yetSometimes I feel I'm hanging by a threadBurning candles at both endsClose to falling off the edgeSometimes...I don't know if I can hold on anymoreNow, I stand accused of all the things that I've doneBut my violence here is in protest : For I'm not a guilty oneI only believe what I see fit to believeI pretend to be desperate to get what I needAnd I'd raise my fist to the injustice I'm faced atBut, I'm unable to fight with my hands tied behind my backSo hang me up high, in a tree, facing northI'll be burning my bridges as you're slapping the horseIt's too late to runAnd it's much too late for running awayYou see it in the eyes of caged animalsYou see it in the faces of women scornedIt's not anger that makes the cobra strikeIt's fear and only fear through which hatred is bornYou see, it's sitting here in silence where bitter thoughts are sewnIt's one free life and sanity we want sacred as our ownBut there are other planes I'm looking for in my search for peace & truthIt's the shadow of fear and hatred that has put me in this noose
