Hilltop Hoods - Counterweight Lyrics

I feel like I'm walking a thin line

Balancing thoughts on a zip-tie

I'd let them fly if the quiet would finally silence the voice that is inside

Weighing my words before that I've spoken

Day of my birth, caught in the motions

Why do I only feel norm in the eye of the storm by the roar of the ocean

Over and over again

Though we both know where this ends

It's sobering knowing that coping alone with this stress

It all falls over the edge

Have mercy am I blasphemous? So

Burn me with fire or Cannabis smoke

I've worked all my life with hands on my throat

Searching for highs to balance the lows



I've been spending my days with reckless abandon

Searching for balance

I'm drifting away with no counter weight

I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded

Searching for balance

I'm drifting away with no counter weight

No I've got no counter weight



Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh



If it's all in front of me

Why's it awaken the kind of sensation of falling suddenly

Like every step could be pulled from under me

And so it don't all catch up to me

I move at the speed of light

Losing my peace of mind

Pursuing my demons, lucid or dreaming

Can't keep doing this, truth is a need a vice

I'm all out of love now

If abandoned my sanity's struck down

Started actually giving a f*ck 'bout

Who's catching me when I come down

I pray that you follow

So I'm paving a way to escape from this lotto

It's beautiful today, heart breaking tomorrow



I've been spending my days, with reckless abandon

Searching for balance

I'm drifting away, with no counter weight (Woah oh oh)

I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded

Searching for balance

I'm drifting away, with no counter weight

No I've got no counter weight



Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh

Woah oh oh, woah oh oh



Don't wanna be here forever

Take me from this place

Don't wanna live forever

Just wanna live today

Don't wanna be here forever

Take me from this place

Don't wanna live forever

Just wanna live today



I've been spending my days, with reckless abandon

Searching for balance

I'm drifting away, with no counter weight (Woah oh oh)

I've tried changing my ways, I'm stuck in here stranded

Searching for balance

I'm drifting away, with no counter weight

No, I've got no counter weight
