Edge of the Waterline

[Intro] Static on the wire, pacing in the cold Another silent night where the story goes untold [Verse 1] I stand on the edge of the waterline Checking my pulse just to see if I'm fine The distance between us is miles wide in bed A silence that screams every doubt in my head Am I not enough? Am I fading away? Searching for words that I never can say The fog rolls in heavy; it pulls at my chest Wondering if giving up counts as a rest. [Pre-Chorus] Then a photograph flashes inside of my mind The only true tether that I leave behind... [Chorus] I stay for the morning, I stay for their eyes! I pull myself back from the edge of the skies! They call me their hero while I'm breaking apart, Holding their smiles like a shield to my heart! I feel so alone, but I won't let them cry— I'm fighting the dark, I'm refusing to die! [Verse 2] Tiny hands reach out and pull on my sleeve They give me the reasons I need to believe Even when hollow, even when numb I swallow the poison of what I've become I want to feel seen, I just want to be known It hurts to be loved and still feel so alone. [Chorus] I stay for the morning, I stay for their eyes! I pull myself back from the edge of the skies! They call me their hero while I'm breaking apart, Holding their smiles like a shield to my heart! I feel so alone, but I won't let them cry— I'm fighting the dark, I'm refusing to die! [Bridge] STEP BACK FROM THE LEDGE! Look at their faces! PULL BACK FROM THE EDGE! Fill in the spaces! I won't let my ghost be the memory they keep— I'll stand in the fire, I'll walk through the deep! [Outro] They hold my hand... And the world stops spinning. Tomorrow is another beginning. ____________ Thank you for checking out the Cool Kids Corner (Dubbed by my oldest two kids).
