Flop

Dancing on a tightrope, balance on a breeze

Pockets full of dreams, but they’re riddled with thieves

Champagne vision, but the glass always leaks

Chasing that applause, but it echoes in the deep

Every step forward, it pulls me back

Fame's a mirage, fades to black

Flop, flop, fallin’ from the top

Dreams on the rise, then the needle pops

Flop, flop, catch me when I drop

I keep climbing, but the summit won’t stop

Confetti in my shadow, but the light don’t stay

Boulevard of wishes paved in gold decay

Whispers in the static, critics on replay

They love to watch you stumble, call it ballet

Every move I make, they keep the score

One step ahead, but they want more

Flop, flop, fallin’ from the top

Dreams on the rise, then the needle pops

Flop, flop, catch me when I drop

I keep climbing, but the summit won’t stop
