lyrics

The dichotomy, pulling me, can I coexist?
Hell-bent, heaven-sent, shrouded in the midst
Who will win? Who will lose? Which side of my head?
Righteous sin, time to choose, hope I hold my stead

Save the world or help myself
There are many different kinds of wealth
Plenty to love and plenty to hate
Every choice further seals my fate

Then the room begins to spin
I try to not fall down
From the outside looking in I must seem insane
But I swear I’m trying

Can’t always tell what’s wrong from right
I guess that’s just part of the fight

The need to work, the need to play
That second need always gets outweighed

All the things a full life needs, maddening effect
Impossible to do it all, inevitable neglect
Stolen time, the stress of choice, dire results if stalled
Pay all mind, use the voice, or watch as it all falls

Then the room begins to spin
I try to not fall down
From the outside looking in I must seem insane
But I swear I’m trying

Feel my world tumbling round
But I can’t make a sound

I’d like for everything to pause for just a second
So that I can catch my breath
But take it all

Every day they seem to run past faster
Try to stoke my love and satisfy my master
Til the end, whatever that’s worth
Take me home, center my earth

All the days start the same, it’s how they end that counts
Did I achieve? Did I fail? Who is scoring the rounds?
Stay upright, walk the path, seeking out the facts
After all this whole thing is just a balancing act
