"dire straits" lyrics

Hey, hey, hey
Yet another close call
It's gonna snowball
My existence is in dire straits
I'm strapped on a seesaw
They won't chain me up
The highs and the lows drive me insane

My heart is racing, from the riddle and I'm taking
I have voices in my head, they talk to me, they say "You're crazy"
What you doing? What you thinking? So sporadic, where you at?
You're so goddamn unpredictable, might miss the second act, woah

Yet another close call
It's gonna snowball
My existence is in dire straits
I'm strapped on a seesaw
They won't chain me up
The highs and the lows drive me insane

Yet another close call
It's gonna snowball
My existence is in dire straits
I'm strapped on a seesaw
They won't chain me up
The ups and the downs been killing me

Uh, yeah, they killing me
Make the same mistakes twice, silly me
Wonder why I'm not where I want to be
It's because I mess up constantly, and I don't
Make adjustments when I need to, at the time
Yeah, I did that all, procrastinate until the day I die
I'm never finishing, my returns have been diminishing
A string of bad decisions 'cause I don't use any discipline
So impulsive, yeah, I just keep on sulking
Feeling so alone like I'm in need of oxytocin, yeah
But I won't get it, no, I won't
Uh, this lingering hopelessness won't leave me alone

Yet another close call
It's gonna snowball
My existence is in dire straits
I'm strapped on a seesaw
They won't chain me up
The highs and the lows drive me insane

Yet another close call
It's gonna snowball
My existence is in dire straits
I'm strapped on a seesaw
They won't chain me up
The ups and the downs been killing me

The ups and the downs been killing me
