Howling Edge

"Give children fire, so they can grow stronger than anyone you've ever known"


Take me to the edge
Give me wings to touch the sky
Let me hustle my sorrow into the wind
May my pain echo in a kind
Might it set their world on fire
Tears pumping through their veins
Let them know what I've felt
What ache I've been in
And they'll heal as soon as their own wind whisper hits 'em
As a hurricane

Take me to the edge
Take me to the fucking edge
Where's the memorial's place?
A useless unknown face
Terror, self-hate    - violence
Controlled panik attack
You're the ones I let push knives in my back
Glimses of hope you'll stop
As I just trust
But you make me bleed
You want me beat
Laugh at the Blood traces To my defeat

I am on the edge
The edge of history
Will I fly with the howling
Away from this hightop roof?
You lead me to the edge
One against five
How gracefully

Historical allusions
Of Historical illusions
Were there ever people
That were how they seemed?

Inches on the edge
Edge of inches
Good people with bad faces
Ugly as soon as they look at me
Maskful presentation
Of what you truly were to be

Take me to the edge
Give me wings to touch the sky
Let me hustle my sorrow into the wind
May my pain echo in a kind
Might it set their world on fire
Tears pumping through their veins
Let them know what I've felt
What ache I've been in
And they'll heal before their own wind-whisper hits 'em
As a hurricane

On the edge of breaking
Bleeding to death
Deathly back wounds
Salt filled noons
You make me edgy,
You stay goons
But you make me wanna
Let it howl through the night
- The abyssal sore into tunes


Take me to the edge
Give me power to be edgy
To call you out without your names
Push me so I can birth a new generation
- that plays with fire As if it were their stuffed bunnies
Scream after I fall off the edge
To help me glide
Stab me more
To make me fight

Be it - the organized chaos
After a hurricane
Give my life a purpose
Make my ache into blame
An howling objurgation
Make 'em commit more useful sins
