On the Edge of Destruction Lyrics

I was set on the edge of destruction, teeth curled like milk on a hot summer day

I ignored all the lessons of my sound instruction, like a fool I sold myself as a slave

And when the jester laughs and no one else does

You never know what you have until someone else does

We take it all for granted then it all goes away

When you're on the edge of destruction

I was cut from the coldest stone plucked out from the deepest quarry

For years I exploded alone, hair pin trigger and I nearly was sorry

When the humorist laughs like their laughing on cue

You never know what you had/know until you know what you knew

Life is a gamble, might as well play it bold

Living on the edge of destruction x2

It was what it was, it's all it'll ever be, but the future isn't set so we'll… wait and see

I'd put money on it being vastly different than the past

The things that we love don't tend to be the things that last

When the futurist sighs but no one knows why.

When you look in the mirror and you don't recognize

The fool back from your past nor the reasons why

He did what he did well that was some other guy

Living on the edge of destruction

Now you can die like the saints or you can die of old age

Or you can live out your life like an actor in a cage

Reading line after line, page after page

Or just make it up, make it up as you go

You can blow it all out for the rest of your days

The Truth's the only Truth that will never fade

Pretend like you're living when you're wasting away

say what you mean, just mean what you say

When you're on the edge of destruction

I've been on the edge of destruction

Come back from the edge of destruction
