Counterweight
Searching for Equilibrium
Lyrics
I feel like I'm walking a thin line
I feel like I'm navigating a delicate situation
Balancing thoughts on a zip-tie
Juggling conflicting thoughts carefully
I'd let them fly if the quiet would finally silence the voice that is inside
I would express myself openly if silence could quiet the inner voice
Weighing my words before that I've spoken
Considering my words before speaking
Day of my birth, caught in the motions
Reflecting on life since birth, caught in the constant movements
Why do I only feel norm in the eye of the storm by the roar of the ocean
Feeling normal only amidst chaos and challenges
Over and over again
Repetition of facing challenges repeatedly
Though we both know where this ends
Acknowledging the inevitable outcome
It's sobering knowing that coping alone with this stress
Realizing the sobering truth of dealing with stress alone
It all falls over the edge
Alluding to a collapse or breaking point
Have mercy am I blasphemous? So
Pondering if expressing doubts or questioning beliefs is wrong
Burn me with fire or Cannabis smoke
Suggesting two extreme ways of punishment
I've worked all my life with hands on my throat
Working tirelessly with a metaphorical threat to life
Searching for highs to balance the lows
Seeking highs to balance out the lows in life
I've been spending my days with reckless abandon
Engaging in impulsive and carefree behavior
Searching for balance
Continuing the search for equilibrium
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
Feeling adrift without a counterbalance
I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded
Struggling to change habits and feeling trapped
Searching for balance
Continuing the quest for balance
I'm drifting away with no counter weight
Experiencing a lack of counterbalance
No I've got no counter weight
Emphasizing the absence of a counterbalance
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
Repetition of a rhythmic, melodic refrain
Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
-Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
-Woah oh oh
-If it's all in front of me
Questioning the reason behind facing challenges
Why's it awaken the kind of sensation of falling suddenly
Wondering why challenges feel like a sudden fall
Like every step could be pulled from under me
Feeling vulnerable, like every step could be unsettling
And so it don't all catch up to me
Trying to avoid facing the consequences
I move at the speed of light
Moving quickly, but losing inner peace
Losing my peace of mind
Experiencing internal turmoil
Pursuing my demons, lucid or dreaming
Confronting personal demons, whether awake or in dreams
Can't keep doing this, truth is a need a vice
Expressing a need for a coping mechanism
I'm all out of love now
Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted
If abandoned my sanity's struck down
Suggesting a loss of sanity due to abandonment
Started actually giving a fuck 'bout
Starting to care about who supports in difficult times
Who's catching me when I come down
Seeking reassurance when coming down from highs
I pray that you follow
Requesting support from others
So I'm paving a way to escape from this lotto
Creating a path to escape from life's uncertainties
It's beautiful today, heart breaking tomorrow
Recognizing the fleeting nature of happiness
I've been spending my days, with reckless abandon
Repeating the chorus with a musical emphasis
Searching for balance
-I'm drifting away, with no counter weight (Woah oh oh)
-I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded
-Searching for balance
-I'm drifting away, with no counter weight
-No I've got no counter weight
-Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
-Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
-Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
-Woah oh oh, woah oh oh
-Don't wanna be here forever
Expressing a desire to escape the current situation and live in the moment
Take me from this place
-Don't wanna live forever
-Just wanna live today
-Don't wanna be here forever
-Take me from this place
-Don't wanna live forever
-Just wanna live today
-I've been spending my days, with reckless abandon
Repeating the chorus, emphasizing the lack of counterbalance
Searching for balance
-I'm drifting away, with no counter weight (Woah oh oh)
-I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded
-Searching for balance
-I'm drifting away, with no counter weight
-No, I've got no counter weight
Reiterating the absence of a counterbalance
