about

Balance and the risks of being on the cutting edge of life, it can be painful!

lyrics

I know what I want, I can’t choose just for fun;
I’m being the best I can be
one side’s duty, the other side’s freedom
Choice is the painful reality.
It’s like sliding along, straddling a blade
cutting apart, a choice must be made
there’s no time to procrastinate
I’m straddling. Straddling.

I want my habits, and I want to misuse,
But I know my duties and I know the rules
Sliding along the razor-blade of love, straddling
I want to run screaming and act like a fool
But I think of who loves me and how they would feel,
So I’m sliding along the razor-blade of love, straddling

I want education, and I want to grow
I love my family but I want them to know
I’m sliding along the razor-blade of life, straddling
I want to be crazy and let my hair down
it’s a difficult balance to both smile and frown.
So I’m sliding along the razor-blade of life, straddling

I need a steel saddle, I’m straddling! Yeah.
