Tightrope
Dancing on the Edge: October Burns Black's Tightrope of Life
Lyrics
I look around me and see panic in their eyes
I observe the people around me and notice a sense of fear and anxiety in their eyes.
This life will suck you up then leave you out to die
This existence can consume and abandon individuals, leaving them to face demise.
Breathe the uncertainty you fear it to the end
Inhale the fear of the unknown and carry it with you until the very end.
Heart racing faster now you're hanging on the edge
Your heart beats rapidly as you teeter on the brink, gripping onto the edge of a precarious situation.
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
An invitation to join and experience the challenges of life, likened to walking and dancing on a tightrope.
The repercussions flow, they haunt you every night
The consequences of actions linger, haunting one's thoughts every night.
You dream catastrophe convinced this is the end
Nightmares of disaster plague your dreams, making you believe that it's the end.
One fatal slip will leave you falling to the ground
A single mistake can lead to a rapid fall, and the world shows no mercy to those who can't defend themselves.
No mercy in this world for those who cannot fight
In this harsh reality, there is no compassion for those who lack the strength to endure.
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
A repetition of the invitation to navigate life's challenges together.
We are such fragile fools
We, as humans, are vulnerable and easily deceived.
Caught in the chaos
Trapped in the disorder and confusion of life.
Time the commodity
Time is a valuable commodity that none of us possess, and it overwhelms us.
None of us have, we drown
We are submerged and overwhelmed by the challenges of life.
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
A repeated call to face life's difficulties together.
I look around me and see panic in their eyes
A repetition of the initial observation of fear and panic in the eyes of others.
This life will suck you up then leave you out to die
A reiteration of the harsh nature of life that can engulf and abandon individuals.
Breathe the uncertainty you fear it to the end
A repeated call to confront the uncertainties of life until the very end.
Heart racing faster now you've reached the edge
Your heartbeat accelerates as you approach the edge of life's challenges.
Come walk, then dance the tightrope with me
A final repetition of the invitation to face and embrace the challenges of life together.
