The edge
Today as I sit here on the edge.
these thoughts never leave my head.
I was once strong as an ox they say.
one more thing I threw away.
I wore my mind thin, so they say .
Why can't I find room to push these thoughts away.
My jaw is clenched and so are my fists.
Take me today,
was it all for this?
Take me today.
Take me today for I need no lie.
This world swallows my love and doesn't give back.
It's as if there all on crack.
Cracks no joke just ask me.
But crystal your the one for me.
Take me today lord just for today.
Take me today for I need no lie.
This world will be fine.
if i don't snort one line.
But if I do it won't take long .
I just wont feel like I belong.
Just for today, I am an addict you see.
But I went to it not it to me.
Free me to day lord, please send me home.
For I am so tired of being alone .
If you don't, here i will sit and live in My head.
Over and over, I wish I was dead.
Here I will sit,
With the wrists I can't slit.
Take me today for I am on the edge.
Just for today,
Now let me say ...
fuck it I am done
make it all go away!
