This is a life of extremes
Both sides are slippery and enticing
These are my places off the rails
This loose recollection of the falling
Barely remember who I failed
I was just trying to keep it together
This is the first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This is my surrender if that's what you call it
And the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Me the ceiling-less great achiever
Me the notorious perfect mother
Lord to the ends of overwhelm
This is the first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This is my surrender if that's what you call it
And 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 the first wave of my white flag
This is the sound of me hitting bottom
This is my surrender if that's what you call it
And the anatomy of my crash
And I keep on smiling
Keep on moving
Can't stand still
Can't stand still
