Highwire Lyrics

Fear is but a texture

Woven over every question

Once you notice how it pesters

Desaturates every action

Til any touch is sharp

No undo or press restart

Mortified to move

Risk it all in the next breath you choose

Don't look down

Don't know what you'll miss

Finding your way

It's not obvious

What little you know

Smoke and artifice

Take what we're given

Create your bliss

Every story has an ending

The journey is how you are written

Would you really want to read, if every chapter was the same?

What if safety is a curse?

Take a chance and get immersed

Yes, your heart is pounding

Terror tries to drag you down

Refuse

Don't look down

As each foot lands in place

Don't know what you'll miss

Finding your way

A gift or cruel fate

It's not obvious

What little you know is a ghost

Smoke and artifice

Take what we're given and grow

Emboldened to create your bliss

Break out the cycle of being a martyr

Don't help someone always has it much harder

So often can only do what you can do

Be kind to yourself, what have you got to prove

And to who

Whispers to your inner ear

Rules made up if that's not clear

When the going gets tough you don't get farther

Without finding your joy - social battery charger

We can't have you at your best

While feeling at your worst

It's a crime so ill-deserved

We await the arrival of your evolution

Golden mercurial being exhuming

Self once decaying renewed

Embrace now and you can make it through

Don't look down

As each foot lands in place

Don't know what you'll miss

Finding your way

A gift or cruel fate

It's not obvious

What little you know is a ghost

Smoke and artifice

Take what we're given and grow

Emboldened to create your bliss

(Don't look down)

We can't have you at your best

(Don't know what you'll miss)

While feeling at your worst

(Finding your way)

It's a crime so ill-deserved

(It's not obvious)

Can only do what you can do

(What little you know)

What have you got to prove

(Smoke and artifice)

Don't fit in someone else's shoes

(Take what we're given)

(Create your bliss)

(Don't look down)

We can't have you at your best

(Don't know what you'll miss)

While feeling at your worst

(Finding your way)

It's a crime so ill-deserved

(It's not obvious)

Can only do what you can do

(What little you know)

What have you got to prove

(Smoke and artifice)

Don't fit in someone else's shoes

(Take what we're given)

(Create your bliss)

Don't look down
