I'm hanging on by a thread I thought I had it in my hands Under my control But now I understand That I'm the one it holds Its eating up my time I'm starving for my life Can't help it anymore Not sure what's real and what's a lie I'm hiding in the daylight Wide awake till the sunrise Nothing ever hits hight Till I get my compromise Swaying back and forth now Getting by somehow I'm calming myself down But I'm locked in this vice I can't break this habit I can't take this damage Down a dose till I'm spent Till I fall back to regret Give me less, give me more Ripped apart untill I'm torn But I'm sick of the back and forth Back and forth, back and forth I'm done singing like a pendulum Hypnotized so call me hostage Paralyzed but I'm not fighting it Raise me up keep me from falling Not a seer but I'm still calling it I don't expect to get your empathy When my best friend is my enemy Singing out a dissonant harmony This addiction is my therapy I'm hiding in the daylight Wide awake till the sunrise Nothing ever hits right Till I get my compromise Swaying back and forth now Getting by somehow I'm calming myself down But I'm locked in this vice I can't break this habit I can't take this damage Down a dose till i'm spent Till i fall back to regret Give me less, give me more Ripped apart until I'm torn But I'm sick of the Back and forth Back and forth, back and forth I guess I'm blessed With a curse to cause this mess The truth My noose Wraps tight around my neck That's it I'm spent I'm hanging on by a thread Back and forth It's run its course And all my time has come to an end I can't break this habit I can't take this damage Down a dose till i'm spent Till i fall back to regret Give me less, give me more Ripped apart until I'm torn But I'm sick of the Back and forth Back and forth, back and forth
