Teetering/Teetered

Whenever I'm hungry I go straight For the bottle to drown it out Cause when my stomach's empty it takes So much less to knock me down To break out of this self destructive cycle You've got to reduce your use and recycle I guess you could say I've been teetering Back and forth on the edge of a knife I'm afraid that I will be teetering For the rest of my miserable life Get a real job, please go get married To tell you the truth I'd rather be buried In the ground There's more to life than this, or so I've been Told a thousand times before But I can't reach it from the spot where I'm Passed out naked on the floor There's more to life than this They told me You've gotta do something more They scold me I guess you could say I've been teetering Back and forth on the edge of a knife I'm terrified that I will be teetering For the rest of my god-given life "You're gonna regret this when it's over" To tell you the truth, I've never been sober In my life I haven't taken my medicine in three years What the fuck is wrong with me? They're the only things that keep me from Hanging by my neck from a tree The threat of an atom bomb couldn't faze me When I'm fighting a nuclear war almost daily I guess you could say I've been teetering Back and forth on the edge of a knife I'm guess that I just will be teetering For the rest of my natural life I guess you could say I've been teetering Back and forth on the edge of a knife I'm terrified that I will be teetering For the rest of my miserable life I took my medicine for the first time in What feels like forever I've been smiling at strangers more and more My jokes are more clever But when the last drop empties out Am I the same man I was before? Can I finally get up from the spot Where I've been writhing on the floor? I haven't had a sip of vodka in What feels like forever But if I drink a box of wine instead Is that any better? This life is a teeter-totter, yeah You're the see and I'm the saw How long will I be on top of it And how long until I fall off? I'm afraid I'll be teetering up and down For the rest of my life How long until it comes back down? Please god let me off of this ride I'm afraid I'll be teetering up and down For the rest of my life How long until I come back down? Please god let me off of this ride I'm afraid I'll be teetering up and down For the rest of my life How long until I come back down? Please god let me off of this ride I'm afraid I'll be teetering up and down For the rest of my life How long until I come back down? Please god let me off of this ride I'm afraid I'll be teetering up and down For the rest of my life How long until I come back down? Please god let me off of this ride I'm afraid I'll be teetering up and down For the rest of my life How long until I come back down?
