Elemental Zazen - Hanging by a Thread lyrics

Got me feeling the daily damage Walk down streets paved with an-guish Can't escape the easiest way to ban-dage The universe expanded Abuse handed to brand Another mind with signs and the lan-guage They know what pain is when it's plan-ted Wandering around enchanted By everything they tell you is romantic You start to panic Cause you've taken it for granted More than semantics Your opinions stay unfairly slan-ted It's dangerous to risk Use your religion as a trick Accept that you exist Seek a fix a trip, slit wrists to slip Further away from the grip You thought you had on the myth The sadness is sick tragic to be addic-ted to It's fits you like those memories You constantly sift through Biological fathers dissapear and forget you With a pistol to the head Thinking noone would miss you Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge Holding tight to the light for dear life Wondering if it's right to give up the fight instead Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge And sometimes the end feels better than this pretend Happiness I defend that's hanging by a thread All of the fear you're born in-to Alive within-you Makes you question the existen-tial So it's no wonder that your disease is men-tal And the growth is exponen-tial Feeling in place is essen-tial But you've never felt safe So you never learned the differen-tial The voices detrimen-tal The obsessions are instrumen-tal In k**ing all of your poten-tial That's why you hide when the rents-due Cause it's a war upon your mind And nothing ever defends-you Only offends-you And in the darkness The comfort of the thoughts And words are what befriend-you They got you doing everything you don't intend-to Aiming directly at those who don't comprehend you The same ones that always think That they can always mend you They never cared anyway they just pretend to Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge Holding tight to the light for dear life Wondering if it's right to give up the fight instead Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge And sometimes the end feels better than this pretend Happiness I defend that's hanging by a thread You took the stairs to the top Now you stare overlooking the drop It's their loss If you jump Prepare yourself to be caught By something you could never understand until you've felt it's hands clutch the outcome You've thought it over and decided it's the best You can make of the situation Standing so close to the inevitable end Obsessed with desperation Filled with despair Apologize for the lives you could never repair Thank your parents and friends That were never there Thank everyone that called you important But never cared Wind on your skin, one with your sins Flying away No regrets at all Before the curtains close Dream of all the prose You composed on your final day Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge Holding tight to the light for dear life Wondering if it's right to give up the fight instead Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge And sometimes the end feels better than this pretend Happiness I defend that's hanging by a thread
