He was made to travel
a place he'd never been
it's all the same
his time [bad word] thin

light that now shines dim
once as bright as the sun
a door once open wide
will now let through no one

 [bad word] 
He threads the needle
he's walking the fine edge
he treats life like a game
and you know he'll end up dead
as he threads the needle
he can't remember what she said

Can you make a change
before it grows too late
you'll never know your place in life
if all you love you hate

Don't expect [bad word] 
there's nothing left to say
and don't expect my sympathy
there's none to find today

 [bad word] 

You've lived your life a gamble
and for what you cannot tell
I only hope you understand
I can't pull you out of [bad word] 

I've sacrificed all that I can
yet you refuse to try
if you won't change your state of mind
then I guess this is goodbye

He threads the needle
he's walking the fine edge
he treats life like a game
and you know he'll end up dead
as he threads the needle
he can't remember what she said
he treats life like a game
and you know he'll end up dead
as he threads the needle
you know he'll end up dead
