Verse (palm-mute chords):
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
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
AsusAdd2
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
Verse (palm-mute chords):
So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye

[Chorus]
Verse:
So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips

So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
[Chorus]
Outro (Palm-mute Chords):
Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...
