The Edge of Collapse Lyrics

"I've tried to speak

But the words collapse into nothing!"

Struggling to say something

But as I grasp the words

They come out and suddenly they disappear!

It's not fair!

To be stuttering through life

To be shuffling to find

The answers that lie deep inside of your mind!

Lay your worries to rest!

I'm here to save you

Grab you by the wrist

Pull you up from the cavern

Straight out of your hell!

By the time it's over

You'll forget you even fell!

I'll be your fire

The light through the storm

To lift you higher

And keep you warm!

But I've grown numb

Numb to the pain

Sick of your blame!

I'm not one to complain

But you drive me fucking insane!

I thought I could help you

Then I was shut out!

You're a fucking coward

With a silver spoon in your mouth!

"Droooowwwnnn!

Cement boots fit your feet

Like gloves on my hands!

Sinking without mercy

You have no plan

No plan to resurface

Putting your life to an end!"

I've tried

Tried so very hard to hold you

To keep you from falling.

Yet you keep stalling

Trying to keep me in one place!

"It's not gonna happen

I'm the gypsy; you lost the race!"

By the time it's over

You'll forget you even fell!

I'll be your fire

The light through the storm

To lift you higher

And keep you warm!

"But I've grown numb

Numb to the pain

You've only yourself to blame!"

"I'll be your fire... until the end."
