I only exist in extremes
I only exist in extremes
Live well or live my dreams
Over-correcting my needs

Penny-pinch or spend the whole cheese
Do good or do as I please
By a code or by any means
I only exist in extremes

That is no middle path
No sane plain Jane would live like that
Why do I live like that?

I only exist in extremes
I starve or burst at the seams
It's brakes or breakneck speeds
Over-correcting my needs

Tongue-tied or speaking my piece
I don't emote or I scream
By a code or by any means
I only exist in extremes

That is no middle path
No sane plain Jane would live like that
Why do I live like that?

And only when I'm barely in control am I finally at peace
You can bully my body all you want when I'm getting what I need

Why do I live like that?
