This is a life of extremes
Both sides are slippery and enticing
These are my places off the rails
And this my loose recollection of a falling
I barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together
This is my first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This my surrender if that's what you call it
In the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Me the ceilingless great achiever
Me the notorious perfect mother
Lured to the ends of overwhelm
This is my first wave of the white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This my surrender if that's what I call it
In the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Such pretty forks in the road
On this continuum I've been bouncing
Life flashing promise before my eyes
This is my first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This my surrender ifthat's what you call it
In the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Can't stand still
