Counterweight - Hilltop Hoods

Feel like I’m walking a thin line, balancing thoughts on a zip-tie

I’d let them fly if the quiet would finally silence the voice that is inside

Weighing my words before that I’ve spoken, day of my birth, caught in the

motions

Why do I only feel norm in the eye of the storm by the roar of the ocean

Over and over again, though we both know where this ends

It’s sobering knowing that coping alone with this stress, all falls over the

edge

Have mercy am I blasphemous?

So burn me with fire or cannabis smoke

I’ve worked all my life with hands on my throat, searching for highs to balance

the lows

I’ve been spending my days with reckless abandon

Searching for balance, I’m drifting away

With no counter weight

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

I’ve tried changing my ways, I’m stuck in here, stranded

Searching for balance, I’m drifting away

With no counter weight

No, I’ve got no counter weight

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

If it’s all in front of me why’s it awaken the kind of sensation of falling

suddenly

Like every step could be pulled from under me, and so it don’t all catch up to

me

I move at the speed of light, losing my peace of mind

Pursuing my demons, lucid or dreaming?

Can’t keep doing this, truth is I need a

vice

I’m all out of love now, if abandoned my sanity’s struck down

Started actually giving a fuck 'bout who’s catching me when I come down

I pray that you follow so I’m paving away to escape from this lotto

It’s beautiful today, heart breaking tomorrow, oh-oh

I’ve been spending my days with reckless abandon

Searching for balance, I’m drifting away

With no counter weight

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

I’ve tried changing my ways, I’m stuck in here, stranded

Searching for balance, I’m drifting away

With no counter weight

No, I’ve got no counter weight

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

Don’t wanna be here forever, take me from this place

Don’t wanna live forever, just wanna live today

Don’t wanna be here forever, take me from this place

Don’t wanna live forever, just wanna live today

I’ve been spending my days with reckless abandon

Searching for balance, I’m drifting away

With no counter weight

Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh

I’ve tried changing my ways, I’m stuck in here, stranded

Searching for balance, I’m drifting away

With no counter weight

No, I’ve got no counter weight
