The Tightrope

Separated from the common man Frayed to show you his condition Hard to sleep when you grind your teeth Victims of the meek become withered and weak Set the stage for them Living amongst the endless time paradox A baseline era of a thirsty vendetta Never gaining back all that is lost When the buckle breaks When the safety net fails to save you Dig in deep, you always held the key The chaos exposes integrity No fuel to ignite the spark When you’re cut off from oxygen Don’t lose yourself in a dreary groove How do you expect to improve? You must be insane When the buckle breaks When the safety net fails to save you Dig in deep, you always held the key The chaos exposes integrity Not burning as brightly as past hours nightly Harmony found it’s way in one hell of a mess With progress unlikely, and a grip not held as tightly How can anyone have a fraction of hope in this? Now places become nameless Before soul blank spaces Casting these shadows On hollow embraces The trials he faces And all of these changes Time to measure your effort’s worth instead of it wasted When the buckle breaks When the safety net fails to save you Dig in deep, you always held the key The chaos exposes integrity
