Edge of the Exit

[Verse 1]
Holes in the drywall
Name in the cracks
Teeth on the bottle
Glass in my back
You said “forever”
Then left in a flash
Now every memory
Smells like the crash
Cold hands
On the bathroom sink
Heart redlining
Eyes don’t blink
Room keeps spinning
I just sink
I just sink
(I just sink)
[Chorus]
I’ve been dancing on the edge of the exit
Every step feels closer to the fall
Got a head full of ghosts, can’t forget it
They keep scratching your name on the wall
Yeah, I’m staring at the edge of the exit
With your voice as the last thing I hear
If I vanish in the dark, would you get it
Or just say I was weak, disappear
[Verse 2]
Friends say “call me”
Phone stays dead
I scroll through texts
You left on read
I talk to the ceiling
Cursing the bed
Your side empty
Mine full of lead
Background whispers
“End it now”
Echo loud
Like a twisted vow
Try to pray
But I choke somehow
All I ever really wanted
Was you proud
(are you proud?)
[Chorus]
I’ve been dancing on the edge of the exit
Every step feels closer to the fall
Got a head full of ghosts, can’t forget it
They keep scratching your name on the wall
Yeah, I’m staring at the edge of the exit
With your voice as the last thing I hear
If I vanish in the dark, would you get it
Or just say I was weak, disappear
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to halftime, guitars grind low, distant chants answer every line]
Take one step
(ONE STEP)
Take two more
(TWO MORE)
Hear that knock
(ON THE DOOR)
Is it you
(IS IT YOU)
Or the void I adore
(WE WANT MORE)
I’m tired of begging air to breathe me back
Tired of tracing scars like railroad tracks
If I jump right now
Would it fade to black
Or drag me through every stupid, shattered flash of
[Long scream over crushing guitars]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
[Chorus]
I’ve been dancing on the edge of the exit
Every step feels closer to the fall
Got a head full of ghosts, can’t forget it
They keep scratching your name on the wall
Yeah, I’m standing at the edge of the exit
But I’m screaming your name through the fear
If I make it through the night, can I fix it
Or am I better off gone from here
