Tightrope without a net

I wish I could be like you
No worries, no regrets
But that's just not who I am

Live the day for today
There's no tomorrow
And no turning back

I apologize - I just can't close my eyes
Responsibility has got me by the balls
Something's holding me back

Tomorrow is a predator
Just one step behind
But it never catches up

Obedience caused
By consequence
Enslaved into submission

Well, the paved road ends here
Goin' off the beaten path
Skydiving - minus the parachute
Tightrope without a net
