Tightrope

Rocking on a tightrope
Looking from the top
Oh, the rush that I would feel
If I threw myself off

For as long as I remember
There's always been this voice
Reminding me of all I fear
Like I ain't got a choice

Life has taught me

The harder you hurt
The brighter you burn
The faster you go up in flames
Life is a circus
Shiny on the surface
But there's reason to always run away

Tommy's mum got sick
I hope that she's alright
I pray for her each morning
But I can't sleep at night

The more I think about about it
The more I feel to blame
My mind is on a wicked ride
Don't know why I feel this way

Life has taught me

The harder you hurt
The brighter you burn
The faster you go up in flames
Life is a circus
Shiny on the surface
But there's reason to always run away

Rocking on a tightrope
Looking from the top
Oh, the rush that I would feel
