[bodytext] => Look at me! Look at me! Here in the air! Up on the tightrope - that's me - up there! Balancing shakily, certain to fall I wish that I wasn't up here at all. Perched so precarious, dangling yet, Nothing below me, no - no safety net, One side is darkness, the other is light I'm walking the wire, and nothing feels right. My balance is failing, I know that I'll lose, I must decide on a side - I must choose, One side is death and the other is life I've made no decision - I'm walking the knife. What an act! I'm a star! People watching me shake, As I head for the end with each step that I take, Shall I die? Shall I live? And does anyone care? The tightrope goes on and I hang in the air.
