Lyrics

Here's the edge, this is the moment
When all the fear floods in a pace
Time to clear my head, my demeanour emboldened
Of trepidation betray no trace
Time to put on my bravest face
Quite the nine-stone weakling, who am I trying to kid
That I can carry all before me as my heroes did?!
Unafraid (if I was unafraid)
Oh, what I'd give to (I'd stand up and I'd look them in the eye)
Walk the walk with my head held high
To stare down my demons (I'd stare my demons down, but I'm not)
But sadly I'm not remotely like (I'm not at all) that kind of guy
Bluster and bravado, every human power I summon up
What strength I have to face what cows me down!
Nausea (face up front in nausea)
Nausea (face up front in nausea)
(Face up front in nausea, nausea)
Frozen in the spotlight, pridefully exposed
In my sad effort to sustain a heroic pose
Though I'm scared as hell, (scared as hell)
Still I know it's only natural (to be on my own)
To feel so vulnerable and alone
In extremis we're on our own
It's time to take my place and hold my head up
Time to wear with grace my bravest face
