Tightrope Walker / Mountain Climber / Me
Tightrope walker don't you fall down now
You're almost to the other side and at your bow
Tightrope walker if you don't pull through
You're gonna scar the children who had faith in you
True, the view is quite a thing to see
Even if it ain't the thrill it used to be
Tightrope walker been up there for years
Now comes the time she's contemplating switching gears
But if you look upon the ground
And you think about the sound
Of your bones and guts and more
All exploding on the floor
And the fear that you will feel
It will activate your zeal
And keep you moving along
K-k-keep on moving along
K-k-k-ooh
K-k-k-mountain climber don't you head back now
'Cuz you can see thе peak and you made a vow
Even though you can no longеr feel your face
You know your sycophants wait at the base
And as you're choking on a cloud
Think of just how frickin' loud
They will scream when you've returned
That some fanart you'll have earned
Every compliment you field
Is another wound that's healed
And you keep moving along
K-k-keep on moving along
Whoa
K-k-k-ooh
Some people are fueled by terror
Some people are fueled by praise
Then there are people like me
Who live vicariously
Through YouTube video of other's accomplishments
Who get lost down the rabbit hole for minutes and hours and days and days and days and days and days and days and days
K-k-k-body builder
K-k-k-deep sea diver
K-k-k-starving artist, oh my power's gone
I need to pay the bill to get it turned back on
The rabbit hole is closed as far as I can tell
And this black screen in front of me is reflective as hell
I think about the dreams I had a twenty-two
I think about the garbage year I just got through
I think how lately I just feel beat down and tired
The motivation's not the same, my drive's expired
I rather get distracted by some silly clip
Then keep on playing captain of some sinking ship
But then the power turns back on, I reengage
And then a built in message pops up on the page
It asks if I want to restore
The page that I was on before
Guy scales a mountain broken bone
Do I watch or do I scale my own
I close my eyes as I decide, hmm
I feel a buzzing deep inside, hmm
It's the vibrate on my phone
Hey look a gif of Emma Stone
Hey look a thinkpiece on some war
What was I thinking 'bout before
Do I look woke in this or wrong
I hate my vocal on this song
So I keep on moving along
K-k-keep on moving along
