Edge of the Earth
We stand at the edge of the earth
This is the end, it's what we deserve
Close our eyes, dive in
Feet leave the ground
Don't make a sound
On the way down
On the way down
We stand at the edge of the earth
This is the end, it's what we deserve
Close our eyes, dive in
Feet leave the ground
Don't make a sound
On the way down
On the way down
I've been on my way down and out of town for a while now
Making new friends isn't really my style now
Burned bridges in my rearview, yeah there's a pile now
And it's all on my shoulders
Believe me, I carry the weight of my sin like boulders
And maybe that will change someday when I'm older
But right now, I doubt these feelings will leave
That's why the doctor gives drugs to me
Xanax and Gabapentin
And I shouldn't forget to mention Lexapros and Balta
Mood stabilizers, marijuana, and Hydrocodone
A cocktail of pills and pipes every morning straight to the dome
Trapped in my head, I felt so alone
But those drugs just wouldn't leave me alone
And before I knew it, I was hooked
You noticed in the way that I looked
Face sunk in and weight loss, too
I was flooded with concern messages from a whole lot of you
I'm just getting clean now, and I feel like for the first time in a long time I'm saying goodbye to the blues
We're like family so when I'm hurting, you hurt, too
And I don't deserve you
Or your loyalty
Or your love for me and my family
We're a little family now, but there's a future we're aiming to see
And I figure it'll be okay as long as I have Arabelle and Jamie
They hide me when I'm wounded
They console me when I feel ruined
They lift me up and push me on
If it weren't for my girls and fear of the afterlife, I'd already be gone
It would be a wrap like my verse as I finish poetically flowing on this song
