Hold on to yourself 
as long as you can 
'cause once it's gone 
it's gone for good 
is this what you thought your life would be like? 
21 
on the edge// 

I want a vice 
I want a shield 
I want discretion 
in my life 
in my actions and decisions 
applaud my unveiling 
or stand aside 
and watch me hang// 

All I want 
is a moment of some 
brevity and clarity and understanding 
but it's not due 
and I can try 
to fight reality 
the reality that I'm alone 
and yeah they lied 
but the darkness 
isn't getting me 
anywhere// 

I've watched my dad decay 
calling into a hotline 
is this what he thought his life would be like? 
41 
on the edge// 

All I want 
is a moment of some 
brevity and clarity and understanding 
but it's not due 
and I can try to fight reality 
the reality that I'm alone 
and yeah they lied 
but the darkness 
isn't getting me 
anywhere// 

ALL 
I 
WANT// 
ALL 
I 
WANT//
