VERSE 1
I can’t get this nightmare out of my head.
Over and over and over again, 
I’m on a tight rope, struggling just to move one inch. 
While others ‘round me pass by on their lines like it’s a cinch. 
Like they’ve all got this. 
And I’m just staying standing paralyzed
And I can’t stand this feeling like I’m

CHORUS
Suspended in mid-air. 
My fear of falling keeps me there.
While everyone else is making it work.
And everyone else is making it through.
Like they don’t care
If they fall, if they fail, if they dare.
What’s it gonna take for me to get there?

VERSE 2
I try not to think about it.
All the pressure
If I miss that next step to make it.
Reach out and try to take it, but lose my grip.
No stability
Always freaks me
Always freaks me out.

CHORUS

VERSE 3
My biggest fear is facing my fear of falling.
My escapist personality leads me to stalling.
I know emotions are just meant to fuck with our heads.
The pebbles in our shoes. Though damned annoying, that’s the truth.
They’re not part of the equation 
When it comes to fighting for the lives we hold dear.
You’ve just gotta shake them off ‘till the problem’s no longer real.

BRIDGE
What has it gonna take?
When will it finally be my turn
To follow my own lead?
To just trust in me?
I’ll take it all on eventually.
