As I walk the tightrope On the edge of sanity I silently scream Making my pleas Shall I topple either way Lose my footing in a daze Which side will I land? If I land at all Where'll I fall? Fooling you Fooling me Inside my mind I make my plea Please help me understand Understand what I don't know I make my way on tippy-toes Living life on a throe Throw away, throw my mind I need to leave my past behind Behind me is another door The door I think I'm striving for I need to I turn, I need to go For you, for me, for who, who knows? Follow me, keep me safe Trying not to contemplate I'm scared, I'm lost, I've lost my mind I'm wondering who is behind Behind it all or is it fate? Because of all the mess I've made

The Pressure Cooker of my Mind
As I walk the tightrope On the edge of sanity I silently scream Making my pleas Shall I topple either way Lose my footing in a daze Which side will I land? If I land at all Where'll I fall? Fooling you Fooling me Inside my mind I make my plea Please help me understand Understand what I don't know I make my way on tippy-toes Living life on a throe Throw away, throw my mind I need to leave my past behind Behind me is another door The door I think I'm striving for I need to I turn, I need to go For you, for me, for who, who knows? Follow me, keep me safe Trying not to contemplate I'm scared, I'm lost, I've lost my mind I'm wondering who is behind Behind it all or is it fate? Because of all the mess I've made
Full of fear, not understanding how to move forward in like and not fully comprehending what’s holding you back. Unsure of the road ahead and insecurities hazing the way
