As I stepped to the edge of a shadow of a doubt With my conscience beating Like the pulse of a drum that hammers on and on Till I reach the break of day As the sun beats down on the halfway house Has my conscience beating The sound in my ear, the will to persevere As I reach the break of day [Chorus] When you lost all hope and excuses And the cheapskates and the losers Nothing's left to cling onto Gotta hold on Hold on to yourself A cry of hope, a plea for peace And my conscience beating It's not what I want for it's all that i need To reach the break of day So I run to the edge of a shadow of a doubt With my conscience bleeding Here lies the truth, the lost treasures of my youth As I hold to the break of day [Chorus] x2
