Balancing on a tight rope 

No not to catch me below 

At one end, the darkness 

At the other, a bright light 

I am pulled in by the darkness 

And so I walk the tight rope 

Little did I know 

Of the horrors ahead 

Kept in the dark 

Lies and deceptions 

Grabbed and taken 

Screaming into a void of black 

Who is there? I am never to see

Hands over my mouth 

Trapping the accusations 

Trapping the only truth 

The light should be better, right?

The truth and nothing but the truth 

But the truth doesn't always keep you safe 

They still come for me 

I see the death now

There is no innocence 

The children are scared to leave their house

The truth set me free but it was a freedom I had feared 

I escape both sides 

Running back to the tightrope 

Staring at the nettles floor 

The decision to make 

The worlds between 

No safe way down 

I couldn't survive either worlds 

I couldn't survive the jump

Bring me back to the world of gray areas 

Bring me back to the center 

In costumes and fantasies I needed balance 

But I think I just lost it
