The Act Of Balance Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ciaran Austin]

Staring at this seesaw which I know I've seen before
Reoccuring dreams, the routine for this troubadour
One seat for my passion, one for what's in fashion
I'm determined to make phantasms actually happen
76 beats per minute, that's hard I've been working
Deserve acclaim, make claims that I'm more humble in person
But then it always worsens, another regret
Another set up, go backwards and cause an upset
No masterpiece but I'm a master of peace
This playground mocks me, on another release
At Notre Dame I was bringing back my hunches
I'm writing & you're fighting, we're packing different punches
So you can miss me with wasted evenings
But then I miss out when I was actively dreaming
Another vodka, I'm only here in spirit
My mind is on the tonic but gin is nowhere near it
Revolutions of these bars and see a winker in my mirror
But then we suffer, I'm distant and I need to be nearer
But where's the point in going round in circles?
Standing down in the cold providing heat like some thermals
Never will I pick the pen if it means that I lose a friend
But I've been here too many times not knowing where it'll end
Intoxicated with melodies, more beautiful enemies
Nominated my tendencies, entitled to this entity
So I'm destined for so much more than what I receive
And if you feel my Presence, patience is all that I need
Keep my head up, won't be so down
Painting portraits of the chaos of painting the town
Couldn't make this known at school, because I wasn't cool
And I knew this would only amount to ridicule
Pitch in to pitchers or pitch up some samples, where is the damage?
All I know is the Act Of Balance is my biggest challenge
[Hook: Enxo]

Do I love you more? Or do I love this music?
When my heart hits the floor, you know that I could use it
Creation is my drug and I'm addicted to it
But you know I need your love, you've got the trigger, pull it
The bullet, I choose it

[Verse 2: Ciaran Austin]

With every invitation how many beats am I forsaking?
In a Matrix, losing myself in my sense of self
Because if I'm not working, someone else is
And everyone's a rapper, I do it all though so I deserve this
I'm at clubs knowing I've got more talent than the special guest
I impress myself, I express and I confess
The Egotist Considers and I do often shiver
What if I can't deliver, no more than a lonely wisher
But my presence is always in my message
My test is to reinvent these lames
There's always been a stage but not the stage I need
I need millions of people taking in the same music I breath
The danger is that I become a stranger
The weapon is forgetting the reasons of my creation
Pitch in to pitchers or pitch up some samples, where is the damage?
All I know is the Act Of Balance is my biggest challenge
[Hook: Enxo]

Do I love you more? Or do I love this music?
When my heart hits the floor, you know that I could use it
Creation is my drug and I'm addicted to it
But you know I need your love, you've got the trigger, pull it
The bullet, I choose it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
