Turning the Unfavorable into a Positive #newsong "On a High Wire" #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter

"On a High Wire" at  Soundcloud

From the deepest point of the edge I've been is where this came from.  I refused to take an unfavorable, conflicting day as a bad one and turned it into a great song. This is very rough. I used a Zoom USB mic and was in my living room while writing it at the same time.

"On a High Wire" Lyrics

Up On a High Wire


Verse

You’ve got me

everything you need

to watch me walk high

On that tightrope

giving me a chance


to show who I am


Chorus

Come watch me walk high

like on a high wire

I’ll be so good at me

like never before


Verse

How long do I have

before this is taken away

before I have to walk wild


come to me my thoughts

the precious ones I have

all I’ve been left with


(where everything else has been taken)


Chorus


Verse

I will sneak that fly

while I have the moment

when your heads turned

the feeling to be alive

and be me for one more time


they don’t last long

are always taken away

before I finish my thoughts


Chorus

Come watch me walk high

like on a high wire

I’ll be so good at me

like never before

My nose gruffles The air is thick I’m feeling dizzy I’m coughing Thinking I’m losing my mind I’m remembering things years ago Like they’re yesterday not sure of their proper time frame It dawns-my hit on the head-but it can’t be  because it doesn’t seem practical Aaah I’m thinking clear now it was the mold in the apartment  I hear it takes your brain Oh I have to fix this I will Just a crack in the window I’m feeling better I’m thinking clearer I’m still getting flashes in my life I can’t line up the  times to  Oh that’s right I was hit on the head.
