Scales of Justice

So you have a new shine in your eye
How long did the last one last
How long do you think this one will
Don't make me wait
Step in and see how much you weight

Conviction not bad
Passion is good
Self-esteem is bursting
You both are on the same scale

So you're afraid to lose the shine in your eye
How long did this one last
Do you think it will survive
Don't make me wait
Step in and see how much you weight


Conviction dropped
Passion is smoke
Self-esteem sinking
You are on the low scale

So you never had the shine in your eye
Does she know you don't have one
Is that why she lives in fear
Don't make me wait
Step in and see how much you weight

Conviction stable
Passion unaltered
Self-esteem good
You are on the high scale

This is where everyone gets
The scales have endless tales
The careless arise to the top
The needy drop to the worse
A battle of conviction
Self-esteem is the greatest resource

Those who rise
Say they would rather be on the fall
So easy to talk
Until they do
And cry for salvation
