On The Fringes
I stood on the fringes wishing I could say the words
It's another night and chances passed by, another time forgotten
I'm at the mercy of the whims of my friends
As I sit alone, waiting for all of this to end
I wish I had what it takes to move on
If only I could've finished what was left unsaid
Letting go is easy in words, but beauty scratches at the truth
All I've known is the feeling of burning down and starting anew
Forgetting myself, staring at the white walls of this room
Again comes the dark
And I know my courage has been absorbed by failure
Where do I begin
Which pieces do I pick up and rebuild myself with
My mind rocking with the tide
I couldn't bear to face what I've got left
The water's carrying me to the eye of the storm
To face a fate I couldn't bear to accept
Let myself disappear, and maybe I'll finish what I barely started
I could bring back the ghosts and thoughts, of ideas long departed
The ideas bouncing inside of my puzzled head
It's so simple now, I'll have a stronger voice instead
This is what I've got
Another brave thought left to rot
But mistakes will come and the courage will go
But I'll never succeed if I never know
