Tightrope 2020 is a modern re-recording of Papa Roach’s hidden track from the 2001 album Infest, the track featured at the end of Thrown Away and is a Reggae inspired version of the orignal heavier track released on their 1999 EP Let ‘Em Know.
[Verse 1]
My words are weapons, in which I murder you with
Please don't be scared, please do not turn your head
We are the future, the 21st century dyslexic, glue sniffing cyber sluts
With homicidal minds and handguns
We are insane, nothing will change
We are insane, nothing will change
[Chorus]
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And, I will tiptoe down that line, but I will feel unstable
My life is a circus and I am trippin' down that tightrope
Well, there is nothing to save me now, so I will look down
And again, and again, and again, and it happеns again
And again, and again
[Verse 2]
There's no beginning, thеre is no end
There is only change
Progression backwards, is this where we are heading
Take back your soul, forget your emptiness
[Chorus]
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And, I will tiptoe down that line, but I will feel unstable
My life is a circus and I am tripping down that tightrope
Well, there is nothing to save me now, so I will look down
Fallin' to the ground
Down to the ground
All the way down
[Verse 3]
I speak of madness, my heart and soul
I cry for people who ain't got control
Let's take our sanity, let's take compassion
And be responsible for every action
Hell no, no how, no way, no way, no way, no how, no way, no how
[Chorus]
There is a thin line between what is good and what is evil
And, I will tiptoe down that line, but I will feel unstable
My life is a circus and I am tripping down that tightrope
Well, there is nothing to save me now
I'm fallin' to the ground
[Outro]
Fallin' to the ground
All the way down
Hidden in the dirt
