The Rising Whip

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in cold Boots on the tile Eyes like a lock Hands on the dial I kept my calm Till you smiled wide That little crack Right at my side [Pre-Chorus] I hear it climb I hear it hum Round and round Here it comes Say my name Like you mean it Don't blink now You'll miss the swing [Chorus] The rising whip The rising whip Catch that flame Before it slips The rising whip The rising whip Hold on tight When it hits (hold on tight) (when it hits) [Verse 2] You cut the rope I learned to jump Land on my feet Never looked up Dust on my knees Blood in my grin You threw the stone I threw it back in Your little storm Couldn't stay long I got the scar You got the song [Pre-Chorus] I hear it climb I hear it snap One more step Then it comes back Say my name Like you mean it Don't look away You'll feel it breathing [Chorus] The rising whip The rising whip Catch that flame Before it slips The rising whip The rising whip Hold on tight When it hits The rising whip The rising whip Now you know How I live The rising whip The rising whip Hold on tight When it hits [Bridge] All that pride All that noise Burned to dust Under my voice You made the mark I made the leap Now the whole room Wakes from sleep [Chorus] The rising whip The rising whip Catch that flame Before it slips The rising whip The rising whip Hold on tight When it hits The rising whip The rising whip Now you know How I live The rising whip The rising whip Hold on tight When it hits
