Verse 1
I hear the speech —
Empty echoes of nothing
Words like smoke, they vanish
Before they ever mean something
You talk like a savior
But your halo’s made of lies
And every promise burns
Like fire behind your eyes
Pre-Chorus
I gave you my silence
I gave you my scars
I broke into pieces
So you’d know who we are
Chorus
I’m standing on the edge
Giving everything I own
Just to feel the wind
Pull me somewhere I don’t know
At the edge of sanity, I scream into the skies
And I see it now so clearly —
The devil is in your eyes
⸻
Verse 2
I chased illusions
Like stars that never fell
Tried to find the light
In a heaven turned to hell
You whispered redemption
But it sounded just like chains
Now the echoes of your name
Are dancing in the rain
Pre-Chorus
I begged for the silence
I prayed through the war
But love became violence
And hope became lore
Chorus
I’m standing on the edge
Giving everything I own
Just to break these wings
And learn how to let go
At the edge of sanity, no angels left to cry
Only shadows, and a mirror
Where the devil wears your eyes
⸻
Bridge (instrumental build-up + spoken echo)
“You said you’d never leave…
But I was always alone.”
(echoed whispers)
“Always alone… alone…”
Bridge (sung)
So tear me apart
If it makes you feel whole
You already stole
What was left of my soul
I won’t beg anymore
I won’t fall for the show
This is my final breath
This is the edge — let go
⸻
Final Chorus (climactic)
I’m standing on the edge
No more chains to pull me down
I’ll fall into the storm
Just to never hear that sound
At the edge of sanity, your mask begins to die
And the truth is cold and haunting —
You were always just the lie
⸻
Outro (soft, fading)
I hear the speech…
Empty echoes of nothing…
I stand on the edge…
And finally…
Let go.
