Running to the Edge

I'd wander the darkest path

If it meant you'd be saved

It's hard to feel whole

When your soul's torn in two

One half in the grave

I've built up my walls so high

I'm not coming down

I've been searching for closure

But I'm not sure

It wants to be found

Each day I get older and older

And I've lived through a war

I'm still soldiering on

This life isn't all that I thought

I'll find a new place to belong

Each way I turn

I'm met with a phantom, oh

Living in chains

My past holds me for ransom

And I've grown accustomed to the hurt that entails

When my mind starts to wonder and the nightmares prevail

And I get caught in the web of every detail

How it should have been me instead

Each day I get older and older

I've lived through a war

I'm still soldiering on

I might not be sure what I want

But I'll find a new place to belong

I'm running to the edge

I'll learn to make amends

Oh, the thought of you still burns

I'll only dream of my return

Each day I get older and older

And I've lived through a war

I'm still soldiering on

This life isn't all that I thought

But one day I'll start moving on
