Tightrope To Love - Or Asylum

Walking on a tightrope to you Strung up between high stakes Much higher than my fear of heights But my courage needn’t go to war When my heart knows the path is right It’s a simple matter of trailing along Surrounded by temptation on both sides Hellish devices to torment own mind and Heavenly sheets to oversleep the days I stay focused on where my reality lies It’s merged with all the dreams within your eyes With your company to gain, falling would be painful Friends would say, I should stop being so playful But I'm a fool for love which brings out my quirks Laughing at my own chances of success That zero can’t discourage the insane, so I’ll pretend Before they place me in an asylum by mistake (or not) I’ll make sure to write this chapter till the end Though just a destiny’s toy toying with life Regardless of what fate awaits my world I’m pretty sure I can do this right by yours
