I find myself standing on the precipice
I find myself waiting on the crumbling cliff
I find myself knowing how the story ends
But I pursue it
I see myself flying down the stairs
I see myself, Cinderella-slippered-feet
I see myself running out of time
But I see
And I won't fall
I won't stop
I won't lie
Till I get caught
The only face I know
Is the one I have to hide
And so
I try
My best
To deny
My soul
But I'm losing
Can't leave well enough alone
Can't leave a tempting possibility unknown
Guilt and the past
Will do me in
What I want, and what I choose
What I can't help myself but lose
I watch myself knowing things I shouldn't
I watch myself skating thin ice
I watch myself changing what I do
I watch myself watching you
I hear myself saying that I'm good
I hear myself laughing that I'm fine
I hear myself choking on the truth
But I know my lines
And I won't scream
I won't slip, if I don't look down
Then I won't submit
The only face I know
Is the one I have to hide
And so
I try
My best
To deny
My soul
But I'm losing
Can't leave well enough alone
Can't leave a tempting possibility unknown
Guilt and the past will do me in
What I want, and what I choose
What I can't help myself but lose
Got to get me down
Got to get me down
Got to get me down
So far to fall
