lyrics

Steps unsteady, whatever the cause.
The wheels aren’t ready to move it along.
Goodbye, balance: balance always is a lost cause.

Alarm bells ringing, yawns and winks.
The water isn’t safe to cook in or drink.
Goodbye, balance: balance doesn’t care what you think.

Unbending membranes flex and pop.
Unsinkable ships always sink.
Sober drunks and cleaned up junkies wobble out along the brink.

Support beams teeter, sway, and moan.
Your taxi will not take you home.
Goodbye, balance: balance always leaves you alone.

The roof is bending in the wind,
And your mind is filled with mortal sin.
Goodbye, balance: balance never lets you win.

This world is falling apart – the people you love are all you have to lean on, so treat them well.
