lyrics

Want to be high on life
Instead you're low on time
And then the walls you climb
Start closing in
You try to seize the day
But want to hide away
Feels like a swarm of bees
Under your skin
You shouldn't spend too long
On being numb and strong
Sometimes it's good to feel
But keep control
You want to flinch and fret
But you're not beaten yet
Don't even break a sweat
You're on a roll

Life has done you a disservice
Wonder what you ever did to deserve this
Keep up the fight, we
Know that quite rightly
Sometimes we're mighty, sometimes nervous
Doubts can overcome our fervour
Second-guessing moments sometimes disturb us
Stay in the light, we
Keep it in sight we know
Sometimes we're mighty, sometimes nervous


Your body wants you safe
And so the stimulant flows
It overdoes the dose
You're swept away
Your mind is not a jail
Where you can only fail
And flail to no avail
You hold the key
When an exciting thrill
Just has you feeling ill
Know you're the master still
And not alone
Adrenaline's your tool
That pounding blood's your fuel
And you're nobody's fool
And not your own

No need to ever doubt
That you can see it out
You're what it's all about
You are the star
And everyone is prey
And we all feel the same
But it will be OK
And so will you
