Walking on a thin wire

I try to figure out how to convert my pain

Into a path that will bring me back again

Just like my life, I'm walking on a thin wire

Balancing not to fall, into consuming fire

Sitting in my apartment staring into nothing

Trapped in my mind, the dark is blinding

Silence feels so deafening and so cruel

So, I turn up just any sound like a fool

Cause I know I can't do anything to prevent

I know that all I can do is try to pretend

That I don't feel the voices taking control

I'm fading away, as they poison my soul

I know the waves are going to come for me

To pull me down underwater in a cold sea

Voices calling like a mermaid's song, so soft

Sucked into a space full of darkness, I'm lost

What is there to do not to fall for this trick

I fall every time the way up again is too slick

I tried to lit candles to get just a little spark

They got blown out, so I'm left in the dark
