On the Edge

In the middle of
The silence and forgotten
When it all goes wrong
And I feel like I’m lost in it all
When I can’t find a way
To make it all go away
I stand at the edge of the falls
And I play through it one more time
In the havoc of my mind
All the pain and the hate and the gull
But I just back away
like any other day
I’ve still got to answer the call

Go ahead and judge the edge
Believe you're beyond the danger
So hard to see with blinders on your eyes
Unveil your eyes and see
Judge it one more time,
You’re not that far from me

You're on the edge with me

In the memory of
The past and the present
While I roam through them
I cut through the fabric of time
And I stop to view the tape
Just to wish for escape
From the mosaic of emotion in my mind
From all the Jealousy
All of the weak in me
And the anger and the love that I find
Its just too hard to believe
That this stuff I perceive
Is somewhere inside of me

Go ahead and judge the edge
Believe you're beyond the danger
So hard to see with blinders on your eyes
Unveil your eyes and see
Judge it one more time,
You’re not that far from me

You're on the edge with me
