Poised on the edge, I stand there alone
Chaos and suffering my only home
Each day that comes brings sorrow and pain
The sun has gone, theres only the rain
The rainbow has faded until all is now gray
When I search for the words, Ive nothing to say
Empty and hollow, Ive become just a shell
Eternity offering only this consuming hell
Blind to the beauty that others can see
My vision filled with the darkness in me
At times theres a glimmer, a light far ahead
And thoughts of redemption dance through my head
But each time hope fades and midnight returns
I stand outside watching while the world slowly burns
Some days I think I cannot go on
And others I know that these thoughts are so wrong
I crave with a hunger too strong to name
Looking for one to feel the same
Drawn to dark passions, yet fearful to trust
Wanting the fire, drowning in lust
Then suddenly the flame burns itself out
And again Im wondering, filled with selfdoubt
Forever and always, it keeps going on
And each day that passes, Im a little less strong
So here at the edge I find myself now
Thinking these thought and wondering how
Dreams turned to dust and slipped through my hands
Leaving a trail over past traveled lands.
