Edge of Defeat
I slaved at the edge of defeat
Wanting to be your foolhardy guarantee
Can't you see that I'm on a losing battleship?
Can you keep to the surface when you're struggling to swim?
You are the champion of your own game
You are the feeling keeping up with every desire
And still I refuse to lose this battle to keep you alive
(I... I...)
I may be the only fool
But it's killing me
It's killing me to know that I must be the only fool
(I... I...)
I may be the only fool
But it's killing me
It's killing me to know that I must be the only fool
So I've reached the final stage
I've taken this dream to a whole new level
I've climbed to the top of your fortress
...And I can't get out
I've got to tell someone
Tell them what I've known for so long
I've wept away and felt the pain
I tried to pretend
But it was not easy
It's just not what it seems
I'm slipping on the edge of defeat
(I...)
How come I'm the only one still dreaming?
I've froze inside myself and drifted away
I must keep dreaming
'Cause I have to keep seeing you
(I..)
I may be the only fool
But it's killing me
It's killing me to know that I must be the only fool
This hunger won't submerge my pain
The bitterness - I refuse to swallow
And yet I won't sleep without you
I've got to keep seeing you there
(I'm...) crawling through this abyss
The disease still remains
I've hidden from a smile for far too long
I cannot clean up this mess
And still I can't free the pain inside my head
(I.. I..)
I may be the only fool
But it's killing me
It's killing me to know that I must be the only fool
(I.. I..)
I may be the only fool
But it's killing me
It's killing me to know that I must be the only fool
