Vindicated

Hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Winding in and winding out

The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in

So mesmerizing

So hypnotizing

I am captivated, I am

Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong

I am right, I swear I'm right

Swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed

But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear like the diamond in your ring

Cut to mirror your intention

Oversized and overwhelmed

The shine of which has caught my eye

And rendered me

So isolated

So motivated

I am certain now that I am

Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong

I am right, I swear I'm right

Swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed

But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So turn up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my fingertips

Trace the moment fall forever

Defense is paper thin

Just one touch and I'll be in

Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

So let me slip away, so let me slip against the current

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

Vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong

I am right, I swear I'm right

Swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed

But I am cleaning up so well

I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Slight hope dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption
