Mental Funambulist

Music and Lyrics by Shelley

Verse 1
Cup of joe
Feeling low
Wake me up
Time to go

Floating high
Crashing down
Rising tide
Float or drown

Chorus
Always worry 'bout the chances missed
Mental funambulist
Hamlet's choices; Ophelia's bliss
Mental funambulist

Verse 2
Buried deep
Inside myself
Scratch the surface
Catch some hell

Always angry
Always cold
Often childish
Feeling old

Chorus

Verse 3
Take it out
On who's around
Feet are never
On the ground

Blaming no one
Blaming you
For all the things
I'll never do

Chorus

Verse 4
Pull you close
Then push away
Give you love
Then make you pay

Hoarding my
Insanity
Something that
Belongs to me
