Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional

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
And 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
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 isoloated
So motivated
I am certain now that

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
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 finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I’d 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 and let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

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
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Like hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

Found the music from the Fantastic Four trailer, its “Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War Drums” by A perfect circle.

Never heard of them before but I’ll be buying this album, this track is too damn cool.

For the last 2 years, this has been my favorite song, amazing how you can never listen to something properly for so long…..

Hey, kids, rock and roll. That’s
How I lost control
Hey, kids, go get high. I
can’t remember why
Up all night - I waste my time
I am fine but a day behind
Up all night feelin’ stupid & happy
but the days are overlapping

Get up, get up, get up
Get up in the morning
All the things I do that you
Tell me not to
Try walkin’ in my shoes but you
stumble don’t you? 4-5-6 am I’m
up all night again.
I’d start a revolution if
I could get up in the morning.
