World On a String

World on a string By Michelle Morris 23/11/2022 You want everyone to think You've got the world on a string But no one seems to realise You're struggling with everything All your parties and excess Your fun and carefree attitude Is a front for the dark reality that You're in deeper than you should be It's all about to blow up Your world on a string facade It's all about to show up That you're scared and you're marked One foot off the cliff, one foot in the grave One foot off the mark, the rabbit's gonna give One foot off the cliff, one foot in the grave If you don't get your act together, your life is going to cave You want everyone to think You've got the world on a string You're fooling yourself and them While your life is falling in Like Alice in Wonderland You don't know up from down If you're going to keep this up You'll not live to steal the crown What you want is yet to be determined You don't seem to know anything at all All your friends are helter-skelter And there are gunmen at the door One foot off the cliff, one foot in the grave One foot off the mark, the rabbit's gonna give One foot off the cliff, one foot in the grave If you don't get your act together, your life is going to cave One foot off the cliff, one foot in the grave One foot off the mark, the rabbit's gonna give One foot off the cliff, one foot in the grave If you don't get your act together, your life is going to cave © Michelle Morris, 2022
