Edge

 

I used to run the show.

I used to be in charge, but then I lost control.

Now I’m standing on a ledge –

Waiting for something to push me over the edge.

 

I try to scream out at the top of my lungs –

I don’t like who I’ve become.

Can anybody save me?   Can anybody save me?

I try to reach out but I don’t understand

Why I can’t grasp anything in my hands.

Can anybody save me?  Can anybody save me?

 

I’m at the edge of the world, I’m at the edge of the world,

I’m at the edge of the world …….and I want to jump off.

 

What is wrong with me?

All hope’s behind me now, abandoned with my dreams.

I’ve fallen far off track.

And I don’t know if I can find my own way back.

 

This is too familiar.

I’ve been here before, and

I don’t want to be anymore.
