[Verse 1]
The bullets have settled, the ringing remains
I'm walking a world that is shifting its lanes.
I walk this world on high-heeled tippy toes
A balancing act that nobody knows
Exploring a landscape that's tilted and sheer
Finding my footing while fighting my fear.
[Chorus]
With the world axis askew
I'm leaning, I'm lurching, I'm falling through
The ground itself is a slanting floor
And I can't find the handle to the bathroom door
Endless, lopsided, looking for truth
Balancing the angles of my youth.
[Verse 2]
I wander aimlessly, but with a goal
To find equilibrium deep in my soul
Each step is careful, a delicate grace
In this chaotic and uneven space.
The gears are all turning, but catching on rust
I'm trying to figure out who I can trust.
[Chorus]
With the world axis askew
I'm leaning, I'm lurching, I'm falling through
The ground itself is a slanting floor
And I can't find the handle to the bathroom door
Endless, lopsided, looking for truth
Balancing the angles of my youth.
[Bridge]
The world, it seems, has its angles all wrong.
Too sharp, too steep, too heavy, too long.
I try to figure out where I belong.
A delicate step in a dissonant song.
[Outro]
Tippy toes.
Finding my footing.
Tilted and sheer.
Axis askew.
