On the Edge of the End

[Verse]
Shadows whisper louder than my screams
Concrete feels colder than my dreams
Hands shake hands break but I stay still
On this ledge where time won't kill
[Prechorus]
The wind's a preacher spitting lies
Telling me to close my eyes
[Chorus]
But something holds me here again
A thread a chain a ghost a friend
I want to fall but I can't descend
Something keeps me on the edge of the end
[Verse 2]
Empty bottles stare me down like kings
Cigarette burns carve their little rings
My reflection looks back with a grin
Like it knows the war I’m in
[Prechorus]
The moon it mocks me with its light
Daring me to end the fight
[Chorus]
But something holds me here again
A thread a chain a ghost a friend
I want to fall but I can't descend
Something keeps me on the edge of the end
