Looking into a life created
A simple thing, yet so complicated
One step forward, two step back
Mouse on a wheel in a big mouse trap
The pitter patter of repeated patterns
Positive, yet you're so uncertain
A line is drawn, a line is crossed
Slipping up on the under frost
The balance of fear and love
Keeps a good man in line
The skin gets thicker, seizes up
Glimpsing his years in an empty cup
The balance of fear and love
Makes a good girl in time
Shaping the world with a wilted wand
Awaiting the day when the wind may take her
Off her feet
Everyone wants someone to follow
To turn another grey day to yellow
If trust breaks like a lightening bolt
It takes a test to be fixing faults
I've heard words fly on electric currents
A look in the eye like an unborn torrent
Does it take a trophy to turn a page
And pass through life as a jilted sage
The balance of fear and love
Keeps a good man in line
The skin gets thicker, seizes up
Glimpsing his years in an empty cup
The balance of fear and love
Makes a good girl in time
Shaping the world with a wilted wand
Awaiting the day when the wind may take her
Off her feet
(Oh, Let it rain in hell, let it rain in hell)
