Looking Over The Edge

In a room where the light is too thin Where shadows will dance on the walls There's a silence that speaks from within Comes a voice that will softly call With every breath, burning my seconds I held my breath too long, learned all of my lessons My dreams are all lost, my fears are now found A cage full of thoughts locked away without sound I'm walking closer to the edge Where thoughts and my actions might blend In the darkest corners of my mind Yet my heart is too heavy to bear I'm reaching but nobody's there The light seems so distant Why aren't they listening? But nobody's here Here's the truth of life, it's a masquerade, Every smile is a mask and they always fade Every door is a chapter, it won't go faster Memories turn ghost, haunting echoes of laughter So I'll hold on through the night Perhaps in the morning, it'll be fine I'm walking closer to the edge, I might jump Where thoughts and my actions might blend, I'll be gone In the darkest corners of my mind, Is this right Yet my heart is too heavy to bear, I'm too scared I'm reaching but nobody's there The light seems so distant Why aren't they listening? But nobody's here
