Teetering
Teetering
Teetering on the edge

Teetering
Teetering
Teetering off the ledge

The more I grow, the less I know
I have no real direction
The guiding light is never right
It’s always misdirecting
And I’m teetering
Teetering on the edge

There’s nothing you could have said to make me fearless
I’ll never know how to be
There’s nothing I could have tried to not be reckless
It’s the fidget inside of me

The emptiness keeps swelling out
And poison’s all the better days
I don’t believe in happiness
At least, not in the usual way
There is no time to sit in peace
There’s only expectation
There is no day that I can breathe
And no justification
For my teetering
Teetering

There’s nothing you could have said to make me fearless
I’ll never know how to be
There’s nothing I could have tried to not be reckless
It’s the fidget inside of me

And every wave and every curse
And every storm and every hurt
Has only made me weak
So if I don’t jump off now
I know I never will
There is no “biding time”
There’s just “be, or never be”

And I can’t be
Teetering
Teetering
Teetering on the edge
I will not be
Teetering
Teetering
