Fine Line Life

Whippersnapper

Take what you want

If there's no one looking

Say what you will

If there's no one listening closely

You make your moves so slowly

A fly upon the wall

You wonder what they're going to say

When you are gone

And you're afraid they're going

To find that you're wrong

You're so busy trying

Appearances wear thin.

Don't be a slave

To the voices in your head,

You'll play it safe

If it gets you into bed.

And is it really lying

If it gets you what you need?

I can't believe all the tightropes

That you walk

You make believe that

Your angles all you've got

And leave me feeling sorry

Cause you can't see

It's all inside your head

You cross the line and swallow

All the lies that you've been fed

From time to time,

You'll wake up

Feeling anxious in your bed

Your conscience screaming:

What will anyone care when I am dead?

Your fine line life.

And it's alright.

I can't really judge you.

Because I don't have to be you.

I just want you to see I'm not afraid

To say exactly what I think

You take control

And you decide to swim or sink

And live your life with passion

Remember that it's all inside your head.

You dance the line and swallow

All the lies that you've been fed

From time to time,

You'll wake up

Feeling anxious in your bed

Your conscience screaming:

What will anyone care when I am dead?

Your fine line life.

Don't try to be

The kind of person that you're not

Quit holding back

You've got to give it what you've got

You might find it surprising

Be honest with yourself

It doesn't really matter

What the others think

You take control

And decide to swim or sink

And live your life with passion

Remember that it's all inside your head
