lyrics

Caught between the worlds of what I need and how I feel
Logic tells me to ignore what fear is telling me is real
Every now and then I feel the pull from either side
Sometimes I paint an artful compromise
Sometimes I just run and hide

And I’m caught here in the middle, fighting for survival
Barely hanging on
I should do like you do, ignore the world around you
Make it up as you go along

Good and evil, good and evil, a battle for the times
No matter where I stand it always seems I’m caught behind enemy lines
I surrender, I surrender, arms up in the air
Somebody come and capture me before there’s no life left to save

And I’m caught here in the middle, fighting for survival
Barely hanging on
I should do like you do, ignore the world around you
Make it up as you go along

I try to walk the line, but sometimes you just have to step across
Pick a side and leave behind the things you think you might have lost
Win or lose you have to choose and live with what you've done
Whether you never tried and died inside, or if you won….

And I’m caught here in the middle, fighting for survival
Barely hanging on
I should do like you do, ignore the world around you
Make it up as you go along
