The Edge of Life

from The Imperative by GREGORY

/

lyrics

Falling away from everyone
Starting to fray, I am undone
Should I pray for you to come again
And deliver me from the world?

We are not cut from the same stone

Open your eyes, its morning
Weak in the light, still resonating bliss

I am not your savior
Nor you mine
These moments that we savor
Will dissipate in time
Sequestering emotion
To stave off the grief
We use each other haughtily
Taking what we need

When I feel the weight of the world
Descending down on me
I seek the cool reprieve of your
Fluidic primitive company
I never felt such remorse
Or fear of separation
As I plot this final course
With haunted fascination

I was never one to grieve over simple things
And I never wasted time regretting the past
I only failed to realize that I was always on the edge of life

Shift my frame of reference
Suspend my disbelief
A matter of personal preference
From the high-rise to the back streets
I cannot get beyond the animal in me
Hunting for the Everlasting
Is this all I will ever be?

Could it really be this simple?
Were you truly here for me?
If so, then take me!

I am not your savior
Nor you mine

Alas the cold night descends hungrily
And enraptures me
At the edge of life
As sleep enfolds me in lasting reticence
Take me
Take me
