Tiptoes

Walking on eggshells All shows and no tells Tulle and lace Give me no grace I'm tired of being on my tiptoes Can't keep putting on these shows Inside I'm bleeding Not succeeding No I'm spinning Spiraling Out of control Ballerina in a box No music, split soul I'm twirling Turning Too far out Dusty tiara Casting self-doubt Light on my feet Heavy with rage Pretty in pink Black swan offstage I'm tired of being on my tiptoes Can't keep putting on these shows Inside I'm bleeding Not succeeding No I'm spinning Spiraling Out of control Ballerina in a box No music, split soul I'm twirling Turning Too far out Dusty tiara Casting self-doubt Makeup on point Perfect ballet bun Just clean lines All dance, no fun I'm tired of being on my tiptoes Can't keep putting on these shows Inside I'm bleeding Not succeeding No I'm spinning Spiraling Out of control Ballerina in a box No music, split soul I'm twirling Turning Too far out Dusty tiara Casting self-doubt Always back row Prima in my dreams Little me Torn at the seams I'm tired of being on my tiptoes Can't keep putting on these shows Inside I'm bleeding Not succeeding No I'm spinning Spiraling Out of control Ballerina in a box No music, split soul I'm twirling Turning Too far out Dusty tiara Casting self-doubt Back at the bar No shining star Stuck as a swan And once upon I'm tired of being on my tiptoes Can't keep putting on these shows Inside I'm bleeding Not succeeding No I'm spinning Spiraling Out of control Ballerina in a box No music, split soul I'm twirling Turning Too far out Dusty tiara Casting self-doubt
