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.
