Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feel like I'm walking a thin line
Balancing thoughts on a ziptie
I'd like to fly if the quiet would finally silence the voice that is inside
Weighing the words before that I've spoken
Day of my birth, caught in the motions
Why do I only feel normal in the eye of the storm by the roar of the ocean?
[Verse 2]
Over and over again, though we both know where this ends
It's sobering knowing that coping alone with this stress
All falls over the edge
Have mercy on my blasphemous soul?
Burn me with fire or cannabis smoke
Ive worked all my life with hands on my throat
Searching for highs to balance the lows
[Verse 3]
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away
With no counter weight
Whoa, whoa
Tried changing my ways
I'm stuck in here, stranded
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away
With no counter weight
No, I've got no counter weight
[Verse 4]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
If it all here in front of me why is it awaken
The kind of sensation of falling suddenly
Like every step can be pulled from under me
And so it all up to me, yeah
[Verse 5]
Move at the speed of light, losing my peace of mind
Pursing my demons, lucid or dreaming
Can't keep doing this, truth I need advice
I'm all out of love  now
If abandoned my sanity's struck down
Started actually giving a fuck 'bout
Who's catching me when I come down
I pray that you follow, so I'm paving the way to escape this lotto
It's beautiful today, heart breaking tomorrow, oh-oh
[Verse 6]
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away
With no counter weight
Whoa, whoa
Tried changing my ways
I'm stuck in here, stranded
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away
With no counter weight
No, I've got no counter weight
[Verse 7]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Don't want to be here forever
Take me from this place
Don't want to live forever
Just want to live today
Don't want to be here forever
Take me from this place
Don't want to live forever
Just want to live today
[Verse 8]
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
Searching for  balance
I'm drifting away
With no counter weight
Whoa, whoa
Tried changing my ways
I'm stuck in here, stranded
Searching for balance
I'm drifting away
With no counter weight
No, I've got no counter weight
