Running to the Edge

I'd wander the darkest path
If it meant you'd be saved
It's hard to feel whole
When your soul's torn in two
One half in the grave

I've built up my walls so high
I'm not coming down
I've been searching for closure
but I'm not sure
It wants to be found

Each day I get older and older
And I've lived through a war
I'm still soldiering on
This life isn't all that I thought
I'll find a new place to belong

Each way I turn
I'm met with a phantom, oh
Living in chains
My past holds me for ransom

And I've grown accustomed to the hurt that entails
When my mind starts to wonder and the nightmares prevail
And I get caught in the web of every detail
How it should have been me instead

Each day I get older and older
I've lived through a war
I'm still soldiering on
I might not be sure what I want
But I'll find a new place to belong

I'm running to the edge
I'll learn to make amends
Oh, the thought of you still burns
I'll only dream of my return

Each day I get older and older
And I've lived through a war
I'm still soldiering on
This life isn't all that I thought
But one day I'll start moving on
