Tired of Sway

These double standards Got me standing at the top of this ladder Wishing for someone to kick it out from under So I could splatter and cover The world below To disappear from the mishap Or maybe climb down Run another lap Maybe someday I’ll have a crowd to clap Instead of expressing to me that I’m whack All because I’m trying to run my own track You’re playing both sides Making my emotions not sure where they reside Causing me to sit here teary eyed All I know is to survive Please pick a side and stay Cause I’m tired of the sway For playing both sides is not my way So let me resonate It’s clear we have a different fate A different desire One we aspire For all your negative energy makes me tired Just a little support is all I ask To build my fort and make it last Moving in silence is the plan Remembering the negativity when you ask for my hand Going to say no Sticking to my plan Tossing all the negativity in the can
