Oh! A piece of me is exposed 
and the wolves begin to circle for their feast in the 
snow. 
I stay afloat 
and hope that I can remain on this tightrope walk 
between the worlds of failure and fame. 

Lately I've been trapped in this deep hole, 
climbing up but I can't seem to keep a hold. 
I'm so much stronger now. 
I'm so much stronger and I've found that I do better 
when I'm burning out. 

So weigh down on me, 
you want to count on me to light the fire in your eyes 
so you can finally see. 
I've found the safest place to live outside of my head 
is on a stage in front of faces that I'll never forget. 

So do you think better of me? 
Or would you have me give this up just to make you 
happy? 
I want to know what's life like down on your knees 
and did you ever peek up through your hands at what you 

You and I have a fundamental flaw. 
You see, you were scared but I would gladly risk it all 
for a chance to succeed, a chance to finally be 
everything I've dream. 

So weigh down on me, 
you want to count on me to light the fire in your eyes 
so you can finally see. 
I've found the safest place to live outside of my head 
is on a stage in front of faces that I'll never forget. 

My thoughts poured out on paper prove that I still 
exist 
and like a photo from the past it tells me what I've 
missed. 
I'm addicted to the voices screaming up from the floor, 
so can you give me just a little more? 

So weigh down on me, 
you want to count on me to light the fire in your eyes 
so you can finally see. 
I've found the safest place to live outside of my head 
is on a stage in front of faces that I'll never forget.
