Dust Off The Edge

The only dead end to nowhere
Found at the edge of my sorrow
Wishing always I could meet you there
Breaking down and taking my time
Wipe my eyes so dry
Bloodshot and tired
Dust off the edge
I couldn't feel any different
All these reasons I'll never know
Taking my life one step at a time
Is this rate too fast or am I too slow?
Squint blue eyes against the torment
Needles all down my back
Poking for an answer
A will waiting to crack
Dreaming and sleeping
Shaking off my endless apologies
Ugly sunsets forever
Dusting off the edge
Lonely whispers that crush me
Bury me into the ground
Softly uttered echoes
Strain to hear the sound
Wake up in the orange
Lights flow through windows
Wake me up later
And forget those things we'll never know
Take my own life so slowly
Help me empty my mind
Sweep up the pieces left from me
The cracked glass from my head
Hide these long lost feelings under the rug
And then you can dust off the edge
The edge of the sorrow
The only emotion I was ever promised
The edge of eternity
Waiting for something always missed
Set my examples
Roll those tears down my face
Walking quicker through my dreams
And rush to be awake
Make me over somehow
Meet me at my dead end to nowhere
We can look for the edge together
Dust that never goes away
The dust that settles on my body
The dust that settles on the edge
A long lost particle
Seems to scream my fate
Dust off the edge
And please dust off my body
I grow so weary here while I wait
