lyrics

Bite my tongue and swallow my words
Eyes roll back like rolling dice
Gamble with God just to stay alive
Something growing in the back of my mind
Seize my body, plot the fall
I'm somewhere else, nowhere at all

My life on a tightrope
Feet follow the thin line
Hope not to trip, slip
Who will catch me if I sway too far
Who will catch me
Catch me if I fall?

A soundless fury chokes on pride
Call 911, an emergency
Strapped to a ride called surgery
It's all in my head, there's nothing to fear
Says the scientist who concocted me
With volatile brain chemistry

My life on a tightrope
Feet follow the thin line
Hope not to trip, slip
Who will catch me if I sway too far
Who will catch me
Catch me if I fall?
