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
