Lyrics

Oh, what do you know of drownin'?
Off the midnight wire?
I don't know what came over me,
I came across burned desire.
Fidgetin' through madness,
Spilled the guilt and ditched the blame.
Dyin' while I'm livin', ritual dyin' on the stage.
Who's that callin' from the midnight choir?
who's that fallin' from the midnight wire?
Who's crawlin' from the burned-out fire?
Oh, save my soul from the midnight wire!
Alone and riddled with need, I feel the gaze
Of crowded, shooting skies whilst smoothing the place.
To soothe my fire safe across the midnight wire,
Oh, alone, The storms of night play havoc with my soul.
Who's that callin', etc.
Oh, it used to be I'd shatter up and splinter through the frame.
I'd look into the mirror through a rose bouquet.
Waitin', wantin', livin' for the moment of release,
Found myself all on fire,
Tried to jump the midnight wire.
Who's that callin' , etc.
Flash of light, then gone,
Spark of life, then out.
How much numb
How long dumb
Growing measure of my coming
Lose or mend your
Sordid sorry ways
Leave you rubble of my days
Oh, I'm afraid.
So tired, chilled to fear, not sure, question cause
Make the cure, oh no, ‘cross the midnight wire
Rushin' up
Brushin' up
Crushing up
Hushin' up
Pickin' up
Mixin' up
It's enough
Fixin' up
Ducking the issue of the midnight wire
Who's that callin', etc.
