Balance Problems - The Cactus Life lyrics

Your branches are growing strong, absorbing the praise from above But the roots that hold your weight are slowly breaking up Now you don't mind the heat, or lack of rain in the clouds But soon enough you'll dry up and return to the ground The desert wind has betrayed you, it seems youre all alone The nights are cold and now you wish that you had known The cactus life is tough, but not so much when friends pull through So next time don't forget them and they won't forget about you Respect fades, the heat creates some distance between us Shelter greed with spines, we see your true self underneath I can see the wall of rain Across the open desert plain And you won't fight unless you know you can win Dig yourself into the ground And search for drops, the rushing sound Of air above declares the changing of winds Don't expend your energy on something that you don't believe
