Dancing On A Tightrope

You carry yourself

Like the lines in your pocket

But you lack the simple courage

To move out of your parents' house

I'm calling you out

You seem so sure

Without a back-up plan

But I pierce the skin

Here we are

Holding up your out-of-shell with both hands

You're stuck on the path

You built yourself to self-destruct

You never stop

I can't help it

I won't let you bury yourself

Bury yourself

It'll all come back to you

All that you can't pretend

'Cause life has a way of equaling itself

Out at both ends

I'll say it again

You seem so sure

Without a back-up plan

And you disappear and here we are

Counting down the days

That you're going on both hands

You're stuck on the path

You built yourself to self-destruct

You never stop

I can't help it

I won't let you bury yourself

Bury yourself

Bury yourself, bury yourself

I can't help it

I won't let you bury yourself

Bury yourself

I know you're desperate to find someone

To ease that pretty mind

When nobody's listening

Just know I'll be there for you still

I've got your back you know I will

No, I'll never let you bury yourself

Bury yourself, bury yourself, bury yourself
