The weather's nice up here,

The view is spectacular, high up on my pedestal

The tightrope i dance on everyday 

Must keep you entertained until you've had your fill


The noise of my voice 

The stillness of my heart 

Fell upon deaf ears because I can handle this 

All on my own, I'm just that smart 


When I fell, I crumbled to pieces 

Wherever went the wind, so did I 

But you only see the remains floating 

It couldn't possibly be tiring to be able to fly 


A pretty mind and a pretty face 

Along with strong shoulders that can hold

Many a responsibility, duties galore

I wouldn't dare ignore them, I would never be so bold


Student, sister, daughter, parent to my parents 

What I fun life I get to live! 

Everytime I open my mouth I ask for the world 

But in return, it's absolutely nothing I give 


I just sit on my lazy ass all day, 

Cherry and bubbly, oh so happy inside and out! 

Because if I truly struggled with anything,

Why has no one ever seen me pout? 


Each time I hit the ground 

It isn't my own self that I've hurt 

It's every person who loves me, who's in true pain

Everytime I hit the dirt 


Dancing on the thinnest of ice, 

Trying not to set off a ticking nuclear bomb

I'm just the worst person to ever exist, the worst of disappointments 

Just because I don't wanna sing a fucking psalm
