[Verse 1]
I spend a lot of time daydreaming 'bout a balcony
One hand means success and that you found the perfect alchemy
The other thinks of jumping when you fail: test mortality
If I were up there all I'd wonder is what will the outcome be?
Would I see my glory as I stare out at the view?
So proud of my accomplishments and all these things I do?
Would I feel so successful as I walk back to my room
Kick off my shoes as I relax without impending doom
But more than likely I'd be standing there just really thinking
Got a sinkin' feeling that you must be callin' me to leave and that my lifе was never close to havin' any sort of mеanin'
Sweaty palms grip the railing as my life proves to be fleeting
So I open my eyes as I snap back to the present
In the here and now this life feels like a trap I've been presented
Either way we won't survive fear I've grown to resent it
Sweaty palms on the railing: next move will I regret it?
[Verse 2]
Look I just want you to take me
Been a while since I went off like a gun with no safety
Cliffhanger in his backpack do you know how to save me?
Try my best to preserve without talking pastries
Every time I go to bed I slip away and see paradise
Wake up and it's gone; sick and tired of this pair of eyes
I'd give it away if you'd just name a price
Somebody better call Job, and tell him that I empathize
Who's behind all of the voices in my brain?
The one that tells me I'm no good that I should choose to run away
The one that says I'm worthless like a check with no name
A lot of questions in life like a Jeopardy! game
So caught up in my head that I pick fights with someone else
Such a burden to these others; only thinkin' bout myself
At some level I'm pretty sure that I could use some help
If the doctor's sick how can you possibly get well
