Lyrics for Hanging High

Oh, thunder in my heart These razors cutting sharp And leaves me with an ever bleeding scar So soft, so suddenly So that I cannot breathe I'm drawn into a circle painted black Oh, I'm hanging high Oh, won't you let me down? Back where I started at You know I'm a little lost And when it hurts the most I'll push a little more I'm back where I started at You know I'm a little lost Like lightning in my heart A kiss so burning hot I'm hanging on a thread that's bound to drop Like rain on open skies Don't know the reason why But I'll always choose the black in front of white Oh, I'm hanging high Oh, won't you let me down? Back where I started at You know I'm a little lost And when it hurts the most I'll push a little more I'm back where I started at You know I'm a little lost Oh, I'm hanging high Oh, won't you let me down? Back where I started at When it hurts the most I'll push a little more I'm back where I started at
