Here I sit on the edge of the world,
As the hot sun stabs through my back,
And I wait, and I wait,
As the dawn reluctantly cracks,
All I've desired, admired,
Falls lame at the touch of my hand,
And I wait, and I wait,
Though nobody knows who I am.
Chorus:
Flames, burning through the sky,
Flames, asking me when and why,
Flames, setting my soul on fire.
Now the waves have the strength of the gods,
And our fate will rest in their hands,
Though I try, though I try,
I know we'll die before we ever reach land,
Though it's contrived, I'll lie,
Tell myself that this storm has an end,
And I try, and I try,
And something will give in the end.
Chorus
Bridge
And though my heart is letting go,
The fear of the unknown
Is ripping through my soul.
Here I sit on the edge of the world,
As the hot sun stabs through my back,
And I wait, and I wait,
As the dawn reluctantly cracks.
