I care too little and i end up losing
i care too much and i get hurt
life's a tightrope, they say,
but i'm teetering on the edge
hands wide out i surrender
oh! lord, give me angel wings
even though i've done devil things
i'll wonder where it all went wrong and how it ended up
me with burns and you with a crown
i'd hope to say, that one day,
ill see you again, crying amen,
as we both fall off
the tightrope of life
love and life are connected they say,
love life and live in love,
but if that's true,
why do i sit here empty,
nothing to love, and
nothing to lose.
angel wings, a disguise
a devil lives, getting wise
a nightmare is what i've become:
demons in my head,
screams in my throat,
monsters in my eyes,
a smile on my face.
a hand shakes and a heart stops
but my mind keeps living.
there are no happy endings,
the endings are the saddest part.
just give me a happy middle,
maybe a happier start.
lost in a world of endless fear,
all i can do is stand here
these moments of stillness
amidst all this madness
the beauty in being so restless
is that my body becomes mindless
i fly away.
