Standing On The Edge

Screaming Trees

Standing by myself on the sidewalk

Nothing in this world could make me talk

I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air

Alone I see myself and stare

Locked inside this world you gave me

It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear



And I know all the ways and I'll try

And I've seen all the places I get eyed

If I bear myself in the yard

Would the end of the day always seem so hard



Wait for the world to turn around

Then I won't go up or down

Gentle winds must sometimes sit

The face that looks on in my mirror



And I know all the ways and I can try

And I've seen all the places where I hide

If I bear myself out in the yard

Would the end of the day always be so hard



Standing on the edge of the wall

Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah



And I know all the ways and I can try

And I've seen all the places where I hide

If I bear myself in the yard

Would the end of the day always be so hard



Well all the nights last a thousand years

When you're in a time that feels so near

I'll just say you were the word I found

And then I won't go up or down

And I know all the ways and I can try

And I've seen all the places where I hide

If I bear myself in the yard

Would the end of the day always be so hard

Standing on the edge of the wall

Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah



Just standing on the edge of the wall

I always go to far and I fall, yeah
