Spinning Off

 It’s hard to play the role when you’re feeling bizarre
 Hard to stay grounded when you’re seeing stars
 I’m spinning off and I don’t know how to land
 I held my temper until it burned my hands
 I flew off the handle now nothing stands
 I’m spinning off and I don’t know how to land
 Take me
 Take me down
 Take me down or lift up the ground
 I’m spinning off and I don’t know how to land
 I went outside and gave the world a toss
 I shook out my change and I counted the loss
 Did you take it or did I give you a hand?
 The hard way is how I’ve learned
 I have little to show for what I’ve earned
 I’m spinning off and I don’t know how to land
 I’m spinning off high above the flames
 I’ve lowered myself to the level of the games
 Nothing turned out like I planned
 I’ve been putting out fires all over town
 What took me years to build is all coming down
 I’m spinning off and I don’t know how to land
 Take it easy
 I’ve taken all I can
 I’m spinning off and I don’t know how to land
