Edge of Madness
By Nomar Knight
So close to the edge of madness
Afraid of losing myself in your soul
Mustn't give in to sadness
Have to keep hiding this hole
Wore the mask for so long
Not sure who I am anymore
The line between right and wrong
Obscured by the one I adore
Like a thief you stole my heart
Exposed what I was lackin’
Said we needed a fresh start
And my walls began a crackin'
Gasping for one last breath
To hold a steady pace
But I'm on the verge of death
Afraid of what I must face
I'm near the edge of madness
Looking for any excuse
A myth this thing called gladness
Was it all just a terrible ruse?
Reflecting on my mistakes
The answers hurt so much
And this withered heart aches
I’m in isolation’s deep clutch
I need to be saved
By your loving breath
But the walls never caved
Cause I'm scared to death
Without you nearby I'm left
Unprotected from passion's grip
I stand a victim of theft
A naked passing ship
Those magnificent eyes
Send shivers down my spine
They seal our loving ties
Say you’ll always be mine
There's magic in your touch
Oh it feels so right
Forever in your clutch
The fear is lost to light
Close to the edge is crazy
Somehow I can’t recall
Why I was afraid
For with you I stand tall
Hold me, show me how
Falling won’t kill me
Leap over the edge now
Breathe and set us free
