On the Edge (A collaboration with redrose)
Watch the sky as it opens above
Uncertainty caresses your face
Lightning ahead, a treacherous storm
Could it be real, just in your head
Rain falls on your shoulders
Tears of the sky
Thunder clouds rolling
Asking yourself why
You take a step to the edge
as your tears mix with the rain
something is coming and its
coming fast. We need to make a choice
to fight or take flight.
I feel it coming as it gets ever
so close. I hold you close and we
stand here to fight the beast which
lives in us both. You cry and I bleed.
Will we ever get what we need??
Taking your hand I know its the end
Both our scars, pouring out red
Silence in the background
No one says stop
As you hold on tight
And we fade into the backdrop
Memories are all we have
The good ones and the bad
Yet we let them push us over
Now we're on the bottom of is rocky cover
Lying to ourselves we know we are dead
They don't even notice, just keep living instead
All we ever had is each other.
We lay there dead with our veins
flowing with deep red.
We knew we were dead as soon
as we went over the edge.
We're dead together and no one cares.
We have all we need as we stand
at our feet looking on to what
we use to be.
We stand hand-in-hand as we
vanish into the dark and cold night.
Uncertainty caresses your face
