Tightrope

Stop looking at me like if I'm a role model, 
Stopped taking meds, afraid i'll take the whole bottle.
Anxiety at a ten, on constant full throttle, Imposter syndrome always leaves me feeling awful,

I want to be the hero, save me, Marvel, 
Before I expire and turn into a fossil.
Impossible, you seem so docile,
Is what they keep saying, not knowing what I go through 

Depression's the death of me, my kryptonite, Feeds my negative thoughts, every single night,
Aches and pains like if I was in a fight,
Been in the tunnel for years, yet I haven't seen the light, 

Panic attacks, can't breathe, chest tight, 
Always a Bane, never the Dark Knight, 
Someone take me out, and maybe I might, 
Be in peace, and not live in spite.

(Chorus)
I'm on a tightrope, but I don't fear the fall, Alone in the world, have no one to call,
People say they're there, but I don't see anyone at all, I can barely take a step, no energy to crawl

I speak to a therapist, but they cut me loose, Telling me in my face, "That I can't help you." And when you find someone that you can attach to, 
Health insurance tells us they're not the one for you.

Life is getting desperate, what can I do,
I've done my part, but still feel worse than the flu, 
I'm falling apart, and the world has a front row view.
Don't bother picking me up, I won't stick like glue.

Will they notice if I'm no longer here, 
When I'm gone, will the shed a tear, 
I can't keep living always in fear, 
Been on autopilot, no energy to steer,

My future's blurry, nothing's clear,
They say they want to listen, but I never get an ear.
Over there, over here, yet nobody's near, 
That's ok, I'll handle it from here.

(Chorus)
 I'm on a tightrope, but I don't fear the fall, 
Alone in the world, have no one to call,
People say they're there, but I don't see anyone at all, 
I can barely take a step, no energy to crawl.

I'm on a tightrope, but I don't fear the fall, Alone in the world, have no one to call,
People say they're there, but I don't see anyone at all, I can barely take a step, no energy to crawl.
