Back From the Edge

A silent river flowing black Strange attractors, no turning back Present danger I recall That pins my senses to the wall Back from the edge where the darkness has fled And I'm swimming in light and I'm falling...falling from the edge... Back from the edge I fell from grace and that's a fact I still have urges I fight back Cold decisions wear me thin Kill yourself...begin again Back from the fear that you're not worth a damn Throw yourself into light and the rush as you spin from the edge Back from the edge Now and then I wonder where the faces from my childhood have gone? Like father like son in your bones it lives on glowing shadows Back from the edge Back from the edge

You don’t know your jailer, like you, he’s never been free He looks just like you, doesn’t he? He’s got no sense of his own reward Who needs freedom anyway when you’ve got your golden cage? What I call isolation you might call a passion play (yeah) CHORUS: How long have you been here? You really can’t say How long will you stay, who cares anyway? It’s a rescue day (x3) Hey, hey, hey, hey What’s the use in fighting battles that you can’t lose You’re here by an invitation another’s mad refuse Escape is a temptation but it’s much too tough to choose That’s why I’m standing out here that’s why I’m waiting out here REPEAT CHORUS It’s a rescue day, another rescue day It’s a rescue day, Hey, hey, hey, hey SOLO You build walls to keep me out or maybe to keep you in Which ever jail you choose right now your house is not your friend (yeah) REPEAT CHORUS It’s a rescue day, another rescue day It’s a rescue day, Hey, hey, hey, hey Rescue day (x2)

You want a toy, you wanna go from your armchair things you know Secret plans, conspiracy, little people all around You curse love, you curse hate your curse you life, you curse your fate Whatever you can be If only you could learn (x2) Narrow-vision, that’s the way, you find it helps you through the day Too many reasons to believe, no time to understand The clock is ticking like bomb, subversive ? ? going on Your only certainty If only you could learn (x2) If only, If only, If only, If only, if only you could learn CHORUS: Victim gravel on your knees Victim of your own disease Make my day, why don’t ya? From your armchair, you’re a hero SOLO If only you could learn (x2) If only, If only, If only, If only, if only you could learn REPEAT CHORUS Screaming beauty, suicide So cynical, you never tried To understand the reasons From your armchair you’re a hero If only you could learn (x2) If only, If only, If only, If only, if only you could learn
