Tightrope
Fischer Z Lyrics

I walk the tightrope between an angel and a Beastie Boy
I struggle to balance my virtuous and wicked tendencies

I walk the tightrope between a woman and a man
I navigate the complexities of gender identity

I walk the tightrope between sanity and vanity and
I try to maintain my mental health while avoiding narcissism

I walk the tightrope it's far too high - it frightens me
The pressure of this balancing act is overwhelming and scary

I walk the tightrope between a geisha and a queen
I attempt to meld the traditional and modern aspects of femininity

I walk the tightrope between family and perjury
I struggle to keep my familial obligations without succumbing to dishonesty

I walk the tightrope until my balance loses me
Eventually, I will fall off the tightrope because it's impossible to maintain balance forever

What's your last memory?
What is the final moment or experience that stands out to you?

Waking up and finding me
Realizing the reality that I could not escape

My heart won't be used as whipping boy
I won't allow my emotions to be continuously abused or taken advantage of

My heart has lead me astray
My emotions have caused me to make bad decisions or wander aimlessly

My heart has locked me out in the dressing room
My emotions limit me in some aspect of my life

My heart still wants me to play
My emotions still want to be expressed, even if they may cause harm

I walk the tightrope between a nightmare and a dream
My life can feel like a perilous balancing act between danger and hope

I walk the tightrope between sympathy and infamy
I try to maintain a balance between being compassionate and being notorious

I walk the tightrope there's always someone pushing me
Forces beyond my control keep trying to push me off balance
