Tight Rope
I can't breathe, I barely even exist
Walking these cold streets with nothing but a death wish
A ghostly shell of a man no one wants to keep
I'm left to wonder where everyone went
So each night before I sleep
I hope I won't wake up again
I can hardly cope
Surrounded by this bad luck
It's like I'm walking a tightrope
And the safety net's been cut
I'm about to fall off
Can't you see the blood spill from my mouth as I cough?
As I choke on every single lie I've told
Every single fake friend turning me cold
Embraced by false trust
I'll accept my fate with a forced smile
I'm so used to fucking up
I just wish someone would stay a while
I'm nothing but the first born, a failed experiment
Expecting death yet the suffering never ends
Expecting nothing yet I'm still disappointed
I guess I'm trapped here just waiting to be exploited
I might be here but I can feel my soul is missing
Day by day I'm left with nowhere to hide
It brings me closer to the gallows, closer to my coffin
Closer to being dead on more than just the inside
So lay me to rest, leave me to rot
Cause it seems to me, this misery, is all I've fucking got
Walking these cold streets with nothing but a death wish
A ghostly shell of a man no one wants to keep
I'm left to wonder where everyone went
So each night before I sleep
I hope I won't wake up again
I can hardly cope
Surrounded by this bad luck
It's like I'm walking a tightrope
And the safety net's been cut
I'm about to fall off
Can't you see the blood spill from my mouth as I cough?
As I choke on every single lie I've told
Every single fake friend turning me cold
Embraced by false trust
I'll accept my fate with a forced smile
I'm so used to fucking up
I just wish someone would stay a while
I'm nothing but the first born, a failed experiment
Expecting death yet the suffering never ends
Expecting nothing yet I'm still disappointed
I guess I'm trapped here just waiting to be exploited
I might be here but I can feel my soul is missing
Day by day I'm left with nowhere to hide
It brings me closer to the gallows, closer to my coffin
Closer to being dead on more than just the inside
So lay me to rest, leave me to rot
Cause it seems to me, this misery, is all I've fucking got
