Come on, little buddy
See how you still wanna be
Part of a different scene?
You thought you
Could figure it out
Working a well-paying job
Bought by a college degree
Now you're walking the tight line in-between
It's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
I look at all these faces
Try to pick out disillusioned traces
Of souls yet to be seen
Hid under phosphor screens
Highlight reels whisper shout
That's not me, hear me out!
But in the meantime, look at me
I'm fit to fill the feed!
Forced to become a product at age eighteen
Now it's your willing time to change the scene
Signed a deal with the devil
Handshake, red ink, signed straight on the last page
Bet you didn't think you'd wanna take it back
Now possibility is causing a panic attack
Rate's up, strange love makes us feign cause
We'd rather play safe, but
Unless you'd rather trip a runaway track
Till then it's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
It's a balancing act
Do what you can to get by
Starting clean would strand you dry
You've gotta make it all right
So your soul is satisfied
Show your true self to the light
Else your dream is gonna die
Only a matter of time
Till the split eats you alive
Signed a deal with the devil
Handshake, red ink, signed straight on the last page
Bet you didn't think you'd wanna take it back
Now possibility is causing a panic attack
Rate's up, strange love makes us feign cause
We'd rather play safe, but
Unless you'd rather trip a runaway track
Till then it's a balancing act
Signed a deal with the devil
Handshake, red ink, signed straight on the last page
Bet you didn't think you'd wanna take it back
Now possibility is causing a panic attack
Rate's up, strange love makes us feign cause
We'd rather play safe, but
Unless you'd rather trip a runaway track
Till then it's a balancing act
