Balance Lyrics

I am trying to find balance

Walking on rolling stones

12 steps in to the twilight zone

Standing while sticks are thrown

Bending while mending all my broken bones

Pedals and throttles

Plastic for bottles

Freeways and toll booths

Half-lies and half-truths

Pullers and shovers

Pushers and lovers

Kindness and dangers

Families and strangers

I am trying to find balance

Dying trying to find balance

Skipping over tightened ropes

Playgrounds and guns with scopes

Falling down from our heightened hopes

Marching in circles while we try to cope

Sons become daughters

The meek to the slaughter

Daughters become sons

Who decides the chosen ones

Pills for what ails me

If the side effects don't kill me

I think I'll take two

Then I'll get my lawyer to sue

I am trying to find balance

Dying trying to find balance

Left turns out right

Right turns out wrong

Words become weapons

I'm writing songs

Knowledge is power

Means less by the hour

Fact becomes fiction

Of a stolen election

Seeking and finding

Business I'm minding

A line in the middle I walk

I am trying to find balance

I'll die trying to find balance
