Fine line life de Whippersnapper

Take what you want
if there's no one looking
say what you will
if there's no one listening closely
you make your moves so slowly
a fly upon the wall
you wonder what they're going to say
when you are gone
and you're afraid they're going
to find that you're wrong
you're so busy trying
appearances wear thin.
don't be a slave
to the voices in your head,
you'll play it safe
if it gets you into bed.
and is it really lying
if it gets you what you need?
i can't believe all the tightropes
that you walk
you make believe that
your angles all you've got
and leave me feeling sorry
cause you can't see
it's all inside your head
you cross the line and swallow
all the lies that you've been fed
from time to time,
you'll wake up
feeling anxious in your bed
your conscience screaming:
what will anyone care when i am dead?
your fine line life.
and it's alright.
i can't really judge you.
because i don't have to be you.
i just want you to see i'm not afraid
to say exactly what i think
you take control
and you decide to swim or sink
and live your life with passion
remember that it's all inside your head.
you dance the line and swallow
all the lies that you've been fed
from time to time,
you'll wake up
feeling anxious in your bed
your conscience screaming:
what will anyone care when i am dead?
your fine line life.
don't try to be
the kind of person that you're not
quit holding back
you've got to give it what you've got
you might find it surprising
be honest with yourself
it doesn't really matter
what the others think
you take control
and decide to swim or sink
and live your life with passion
remember that it's all inside your head
