Tired of Sway

These double standards
                           Got me standing at the top of this ladder
                       Wishing for someone to kick it out from under 
                                     So I could splatter and cover 
                                           The world below 
                                  To disappear from the mishap
                                       Or maybe climb down
                                          Run another lap

                           Maybe someday I’ll have a crowd to clap
                         Instead of expressing to me that I’m whack
                         All because I’m trying to run my own track
 
                                   You’re playing both sides
                    Making my emotions not sure where they reside
                             Causing me to sit here teary eyed 
                                   All I know is to survive
                                 Please pick a side and stay
                                Cause I’m tired of the sway
                          For playing both sides is not my way

                                       So let me resonate
                              It’s clear we have a different fate
                                       A different desire
                                        One we aspire
                      For all your negative energy makes me tired
                                Just a little support is all I ask
                              To build my fort and make it last

                               Moving in silence is the plan
             Remembering the negativity when you ask for my hand
                                     Going to say no
                                  Sticking to my plan
                      Tossing all the negativity in the can
