A situation where an individual or entity changes roles, acting as both the seller and buyer, with complete control over the transaction's outcome.

Living on a tight wire 24 hours a day
Existing in a precarious and difficult balance, constantly teetering on the edge of success or failure.

I'm ready to pray, there's got to be a better way
I am willing to turn to religion or spirituality for guidance because there must be a superior solution to the current circumstances.

I say, can I, will I, have I, I pray that I get by and I
I question the possibility of surviving the current circumstances, reflecting on whether I have the ability and strength to endure.

Keep on living to get me by
Enduring and surviving one day at a time.

A time to be she said to me, I'll be there

An empty dream it seemed.

Constantly assessing and evaluating the outcomes and consequences of the artist's actions and decisions, using precise and accurate measurements.
