The Fringes

Why wish upon a star my friend
Keep a Merlin in your hand
See the leering vagrants
Dirty hands, dirty face and they rant

Living on the wind-down
Sure, through it all you'll prevail
Consistently staying at zero
Square one, the first mile, stand still

Live on the fringes, peel back a smile
Second chances for no one, desire's a deadly pill

Kiss the sky while you figure you're wading up to your knees
Pouring swill in a dixie cup, maybe you'll die in your sleep

Live on the fringes, peel back a smile
Second chances for no one, desire's a deadly pill

Walk away, you know you won't get what you want
Don't even waste your time

So I leave you with this now,
life has no place for heroes
In the trench of the seemingly
Unfortunate few, the doomed souls

Live on the fringes, peel back a smile
Second chances for no one, desire's a deadly pill

Walk away, you know you won't get what you want
Don't even waste your time
