Lyrics I The Mighty – Dancing On A Tightrope

You carry yourself
Like the lines in your pocket
But you lack the simple courage
To move out of your parents’ house

You seem so sure
Without a back-up plan
But I pierce the skin
Here we are, holding up your out-of-shell with both hands

You’re stuck on the path you built yourself to self-destruct
You never stop

I can’t help it
I won’t let you bury yourself
Bury yourself
x2

It’ll all come back to you
All that you can’t pretend
‘Cause life has a way of equaling itself out at both ends

I’ll say it again

You seem so sure
Without a back-up plan
And you disappear and here we are
Counting down the days that you’re going on both hands

You’re stuck on the path you built yourself to self-destruct
You never stop

I can’t help it
I won’t let you bury yourself
Bury yourself
x2

Bury yourself, bury yourself

I can’t help it
I won’t let you bury yourself
Bury yourself
x2

I know you’re desperate to find someone to ease that pretty mind
When nobody’s listening
Just know I’ll be there for you still
I’ve got your back you know I will
No, I’ll never let you bury yourself

Bury yourself, bury yourself, bury yourself
