I have
Come to the edge
With thoughts in my head
Of a world without so many cliffs
Off which to jump
And less regrets
Or empty threats
And I’ve knocked on your door
A thousand times
And I’d knock a thousand more
If I thought it would do any good
And for all I know it would
But I’ve been walking this long road of uncertain ends
And with these thoughts in my head, I’ve come to the edge again
I have
Forgotten the light
I knew just last night
When the stars were shining
And I was finally finding
Meaning beyond
These empty songs
And I’ve been losing my sanity
Like heroes lose their humanity
The more their stories are told
Getting colder as we age
And I think the stories are growing old
So burn the memorials and tear down the statues
Erase the memories of another generation that you
Have kept as I’ve been walking this long road of uncertain ends
And with these thoughts in my head, I’ve come to the edge again
I have
Left behind
What was never mine
The hurt I caused and the burden
Of healing you
Just trying to help
‘Cause you can’t save yourself
But I know I can’t save you
And something I’ve been thinking lately
Maybe you never wanted me to
Just wanted a hand to hold
But I was young and my heart was cold
But I’ll leave behind excuses as I’m walking this long road of uncertain ends
And with these thoughts in my head, I’ve come to the edge again
I have
Found hope in a mystery
Absurd bits of symmetry
Like a candle-flame flickering
In the dark of lost identity
So reach out
‘Cause you’ve been looking down
At all the scars your hearts been bearing
And now I’m calling you
Believe me, it scares me too, this bit of caring
But I can be your hand to hold
No matter what you may have been told
There’s a light at my feet as I’m walking this long road of uncertain ends
And with these thoughts in my head, I’ll stand by you at the edge again
