on the bend

burning the bridges
leaving the friends
hows it been
i am at the edge of things
lest i be more than i see
ill be trapped forever in me

looking for truth
inside the lie
pretending tell i die
got to think things through
be careful not to choose
finality is one way to lose

keep things at a distance
taking a chance is for the fool
being hurt by the one thats cruel
its a slow way to go, abstinence

to be snuffed out in the end
like the flicker of the candle
its just that quick back to the bend
no more time to get a handle

its a crying shame
born with a permanent amnesia
got to make the tough choices
cause life isnt going to wait
bleeding fists pounding on the gate

cant wait to go
open that door
let me in damnit
im so afraid
dont just stare
make a decision
forget it
forget you
forget me
take you
take me
