Standing On The Edge Lyrics - Screaming Trees

Standing by myself on the sidewalk 

Nothing in this world could make me talk 

I'm nailed to this floor where there is no air 

Alone I see myself and stare 

Locked inside this world you gave me 

It's lonely here through the smoke I can't see clear 

And I know all the ways and I'll try 

And I've seen all the places I get eyed 

If I bear myself in the yard 

Would the end of the day always seem so hard 

Wait for the world to turn around 

Then I won't go up or down 

Gentle winds must sometimes sit 

The face that looks on in my mirror 

And I know all the ways and I can try 

And I've seen all the places where I hide 

If I bear myself out in the yard 

Would the end of the day always be so hard 

Standing on the edge of the wall 

Sometimes I get too close and I fall, yeah 

And I know all the ways and I can try 

And I've seen all the places where I hide 

If I bear myself in the yard 

Would the end of the day always be so hard 

Well all the nights last a thousand years 

When you're in a time that feels so near 

I'll just say you were the word I found 

And then I won't go up or down 

And I know all the ways and I can try 

And I've seen all the places where I hide 

If I bear myself in the yard 

Would the end of the day always be so hard 

Standing on the edge of the wall 

Sometimes I look down and I fall, yeah 

Just standing on the edge of the wall 

I always go too far and I fall, yeah
