Tomcantsleep - Tightrope Lyrics

The cage is open so I gotta go
Still afraid to take risks from all the times I lost control
Dug a hole and hid up in it for a minute
A thousand years removed from normalcy to be specific
At first it felt terrific, weight lifted when I did it
And after all these years, still here and still committed
I swear to God, I go a day without and I get twitches
Cancelled all my future plans to spend a life with it
See me and you are different, I don't really need to be seen
I only started doing this to learn what being free means
Defeat kings by completely ignoring
All the lies and war cries that they're constantly enforcing
Can't trust it, trust me, pay attention, it's disgusting
How government can make you vote for what it's corrupting
But I ain't saying nothing, I ain't really tryna die yet
I'm just saying, most the shit I see don't pass the eye test
The cause of my stress is no booze on my breath
It's almost noon, how come I ain't even had some wine yet?
I used to lie in bed and dream until I woke up
Soon enough, I might sell my soul cause being broke sucks
Make a hit, get rich, disappear and change my name
Work anonymously under monikers to save the game
I'll save my life first on beats as nice as Lightworks
The concept's immaculate like it's a Jesus Christ birth
I used to write verses, now I'm only spittin' visions
Locked in for no reason like so many men in prison
Guilty of getting filthy until it kills me
Tell me how it is, don't try to sell me what it will be
I'm still me, even though I'm changing drastically
Slipping off the tight rope hanging off my sanity

The cage is open so I gotta go
Still afraid to take risks from all the times I lost control
Dug a hole and hid up in it for a minute
A thousand years removed from normalcy to be specific
At first it felt terrific, weight lifted when I did it
And after all these years, still here and still committed
I swear to God, I go a day without and I get twitches
Cancelled all my future plans to spend a life with it
See me and you are different, I don't really need to be seen
I only started doing this to learn what being free means
Defeat kings by completely ignoring
All the lies and war cries that they're constantly enforcing
Can't trust it, trust me, pay attention, it's disgusting
How government can make you vote for what it's corrupting
But I ain't saying nothing, I ain't really tryna die yet
I'm just saying, most the shit I see don't pass the eye test
The cause of my stress is no booze on my breath
It's almost noon, how come I ain't even had some wine yet?
I used to lie in bed and dream until I woke up
Soon enough, I might sell my soul cause being broke sucks
Make a hit, get rich, disappear and change my name
Work anonymously under monikers to save the game
I'll save my life first on beats as nice as Lightworks
The concept's immaculate like it's a Jesus Christ birth
I used to write verses, now I'm only spittin' visions
Locked in for no reason like so many men in prison
Guilty of getting filthy until it kills me
Tell me how it is, don't try to sell me what it will be
I'm still me, even though I'm changing drastically
Slipping off the tight rope hanging off my sanity
