Edge To Life Lyrics - Singles - Recoil

I'm not waiting for a king 

To rule my mind or anything 

I don't need your band of gold 

To take me where I need to go 

There's an edge to life 

That will cut you like a knife 

When you lay your head down 

There's a castle of sand 

That gets kicked in your face 

To see how easily you'd fall from grace 

There's a piece of dust 

That crumbles in your hand 

If you decide to lose control 

No one can escape 

When you find out they're fake 

And you want to take the whole lot down 

A simple man 

Well he could do more 

But you can only see the traces 

That have gone before 

There's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 

If you walk the white line 

There's a piece of dust that crumbles in your hand 

If you decide to lose control 

There's a castle of sand that gets kicked in your face 

To see how easily you'd fall from grace 

Yes, there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 

There's an edge to life that will cut you like a knife 

When you lay your head down 

You know you can't escape when you find out they're fake 

And you want to take the whole lot down 

There's no truth in the lie that only angels cry 

When everybody knows we're all born to die 

There's an edge to life that will cut you like a knife 

I miss you 

There's no power that is such a thrill 

That can make a man or anything 

I miss you
