lyrics

I can be lucid
I can be miles away
Sitting pretty on a tightrope
What will I be today?

Control is an illusion
What's next is anybody's guess
Give me sweet surrender
Never thought that far ahead

Will I burn bright?
Can I make it to the other side?
Down in a well
How deep, it's hard to tell
Will I burn out?

When you pick a life
Of pleasure and of pain
There's a fine fine line
They are one and the same

Will I burn bright?
Can I make it to the other side?
Down in a well
How deep, it's hard to tell
Will I burn bright?
Or will I burn out?
