Lyrics: Balanced on a wire High above the earth tonight Looking for an answer Finding that warning sign Slowly falling Into my emotions Drowning in an ocean And I can't find you Balanced on a wire High above the earth tonight Now I'm hanging by a thread But I never felt so alive And to the very last minute We will always be death defying Caught in the act of flying solo This acrobat is lost And I don't know Where I'll land As I reach for your hand All of the lights can be so blinding Every time I jump you always find me Without a net So please don't forget Cause right now I'm out of control Swear you're never gonna let go Tell me not to look down Promise that you're gonna stay Spinning like a top now Feeling like I'm gonna break Into nothing Tell me that there's still hope Back up on the tightrope Faster and faster Balanced on a wire High above the earth tonight And it doesn't make sense How me and you still survive To the very last minute We will always be death defying Caught in the act of flying solo This acrobat is lost And I don't know Where I'll land As I reach for your hand All of the lights can be so blinding But every time I jump you always find me Without a net So please don't forget Cause right now I'm out of control Swear you're never gonna let go Now I'm hanging by a thread But I never felt so alive To the very last minute We will always be death defying Caught in the act of flying solo This acrobat is lost And I don't know Where I'll land As I reach for your hand All of the lights can be so blinding But every time I jump you always find me Without a net So please don't forget Cause right now I'm out of control Swear you're never gonna let go Cause right now I'm out of control Swear you're never gonna let go
I hope Shinedowns follow up to attention attention sounds like songs like this and second chance! It would be nice to hear them return to post-grunge and ditch the Imagine Dragons Type songs like state of my head and kill your conscience
@@thezombros2607 have you heard the other 2 songs from the album that out so far? The saint’s of violence and innuendo and daylight that one is beautiful and special
Anybody else oddly obsessed with song?
Yes, yes, I am.
I am, completely.
I am obsessed with Shinedown. :) ♥♥
With this song* I didn't realize this until now. Bahaha
I am , I ordered the Japanese version of this cd just for this song !!!
WOW!!!! Brent is fucking AMAZING. This one brings tears to my eyes...Just...WOW!!!
This is one of my favorite shinedown songs!! They sound so great I really wish they released this song in the US
You can buy it on eBay. I ordered one the day after this show.
Is this the new album that's coming out?
@@zadiepitts6852I'm sure you know this by now, but this was an extra on the Threat to Survival album. Japanese exclusive sadly

Lyrics:
Balanced on a wire
High above the earth tonight
Looking for an answer
Finding that warning sign
Slowly falling
Into my emotions
Drowning in an ocean
And I can't find you
Balanced on a wire
High above the earth tonight
Now I'm hanging by a thread
But I never felt so alive
And to the very last minute
We will always be death defying
Caught in the act of flying solo
This acrobat is lost
And I don't know
Where I'll land
As I reach for your hand
All of the lights can be so blinding
Every time I jump you always find me
Without a net
So please don't forget
Cause right now I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
Tell me not to look down
Promise that you're gonna stay
Spinning like a top now
Feeling like I'm gonna break
Into nothing
Tell me that there's still hope
Back up on the tightrope
Faster and faster
Balanced on a wire
High above the earth tonight
And it doesn't make sense
How me and you still survive
To the very last minute
We will always be death defying
Caught in the act of flying solo
This acrobat is lost
And I don't know
Where I'll land
As I reach for your hand
All of the lights can be so blinding
But every time I jump you always find me
Without a net
So please don't forget
Cause right now I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
Now I'm hanging by a thread
But I never felt so alive
To the very last minute
We will always be death defying
Caught in the act of flying solo
This acrobat is lost
And I don't know
Where I'll land
As I reach for your hand
All of the lights can be so blinding
But every time I jump you always find me
Without a net
So please don't forget
Cause right now I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
Cause right now I'm out of control
Swear you're never gonna let go
I was there for this!!!! Traveled from Florida to Jersey to see them!!!

I hope they play this tonight and I hope someone uploaded it on here!!🙏💙😎😊
Not putting this on the record was a bad idea
Does anyone know the piano tabs for this song? I’d love to learn how to play it!
Want to see Shinedown in concert soooo fucking bad
Should of made it on the album
To me it looks like Brent is going to cry
it's an emotional song and if i heard him sing it with his golden voice i would cry to because it would sound to beautiful (:
I nearly cried when I heard it live in Orlando in 2017, and it was my first time ever hearing the song.
I hope Shinedowns follow up to attention attention sounds like songs like this and second chance! It would be nice to hear them return to post-grunge and ditch the Imagine Dragons Type songs like state of my head and kill your conscience
Planet zero sounds like hard rock with a space vibe and I love it
