[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall
Chews through the plaster
IV drip
Keeps time even faster
Family photos
Taped to the frame
Room smells like bleach
And last summer's rain
[Chorus]
It’s a slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
Every breath bought
With one more pledge
I won’t bow
But I won’t beg
On this slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
(yeah, to the edge)
[Verse 2]
Nurse says my name
Like a file number
Doctor’s eyes
Practice the thunder
Jokes taste like rust
In a paper cup
I write down lies
Like “I’ll get up”
[Chorus]
It’s a slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
Every breath bought
With one more pledge
I won’t bow
But I won’t beg
On this slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
(woah, to the edge)
[Bridge]
I mark the days
On the back of my hand
Thin red lines
Like a map through the sand
If this is it
I won’t turn my head
I’ll stare it down
’til it blinks instead
[Chorus]
It’s a slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
Every breath bought
With one last pledge
I won’t bow
And I won’t beg
On this slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
On this slow walk
Stone steps to the edge
