THE PRECIPICE
It's there, the temptation
To flirt with danger, slow dance with death
To such behavior we are no strangers
But one false step can send the surest-footed over the edge
So beware the compulsion
Should the void come a-calling, calling to collect on a debt
Perish the thought and take a step back
Lest one wrong move condemn you to live out life on the ledge
Standing on the precipice
Tête-à-tête with eternal oblivion
Begging for that cold caress
Whispers of sweet nothingness
Don't despair, regain composure
Before you lose your sense of self, your self-control
Because it will take more than pick and shovel
To dig yourself out of that black hole
Standing on the precipice
Locked in a staring contest with a nihilistic abyss
Blink out of existence and miss catching a glimpse of
A glimmer of meaning in the meaningless
As above, so below
What lies beyond the veil remains a quantity unknown
But for now tomorrow, it still awaits
The choice is yours and yours alone to make
To flirt with danger, slow dance with death
To such behavior we are no strangers
But one false step can send the surest-footed over the edge
So beware the compulsion
Should the void come a-calling, calling to collect on a debt
Perish the thought and take a step back
Lest one wrong move condemn you to live out life on the ledge
Standing on the precipice
Tête-à-tête with eternal oblivion
Begging for that cold caress
Whispers of sweet nothingness
Don't despair, regain composure
Before you lose your sense of self, your self-control
Because it will take more than pick and shovel
To dig yourself out of that black hole
Standing on the precipice
Locked in a staring contest with a nihilistic abyss
Blink out of existence and miss catching a glimpse of
A glimmer of meaning in the meaningless
As above, so below
What lies beyond the veil remains a quantity unknown
But for now tomorrow, it still awaits
The choice is yours and yours alone to make
