"Close To The Edge" lyrics

"Close To The Edge"

I was into
Like a sudden fix from a bowl of sugar
To you
And all that you were standing for
Yeah, you knew
I was so caught up that I could barely move
To stop you
From having everything and more

Do you pick me up
To put me under
Break me in
So you can choose your ways to put me back again

You can leave a hole like a nail in my head
You can leave me turned into nothing instead
You can leave me close to the edge
You won't ever hear me hit the ground

Are you into
Have you given up, have we gone to far
Do you wander
Or are you staying where we are
I abhor you
Yet all the while still I adore knowing you
And all that might have been before

Do I say too much to take you over
Break me in
So I can choose my ways to put me back again

You can leave a hole like a nail in my head
You can leave me turned into nothing instead
You can leave me close to the edge
You won't ever hear me hit the ground

'Cause I'm floored but not broken
And I'm scarred but I'll heal
Yeah I'm blissfully tortured, naked and real
And I'm stung and I'm sorry
But I'm calm now and clear
Like the sky hanging over
Like the scratch on my shoulder
That I no longer feel, feel
I was into, too close to the edge, too close to the edge

You can leave a hole like a nail in my head
You can leave me turned into nothing instead
You can leave me close to the edge
You won't ever hear me hit the ground
