Tightrope Lyrics
Josh Tavares
I’ve been fighting this shit, longer than I’ve known ya
I’ve been praying on moments that never seem to happen
Follow your steps, your words
Say I don’t deserve the ones that I love
You got me out of here
Promised a life of ecstasy and roses
Turned me around to sewage water and poison
Don’t know what I’m saying
Don’t know why I needed
To do what I’m doing
On my knees and pleading
Don’t know why the blood is coming out of me, rapidly
I wanna go home but now this feels like a tragedy
Don’t wanna be here in the morning when the lights come on
Mistakes of thе night before waking up to my alarm
You tell mе everything’s fine, but it’s really not
You got me on this tightrope that I can’t walk
(I can’t walk)
Don’t know how I’m losing versus all these feelings
All the things you say and try to give it meaning
Don’t know why the lights went from glowing to flickering
It’s like a blink where everything goes missing
I’m breaking down the pillars you put up to save my shit
Talking to rubble, arguing over whose listening
And here I go, you should know
You should know
I’m an introvert, except when I’m feeling like an expert
Good luck stopping my mouth, words
Come out like sucker punches
Outta nowhere, in the silence, outta mind
Choose your poison, choose your life, I’ll choose mine
Mixed opinions, about my brain, you’re outta time, you’re outta time
Don’t wanna be here in the morning when the lights come on
Mistakes of the night before waking up to my alarm
You tell me everything’s fine, but it’s really not
I’m hanging off this tightrope that I can’t walk
