The Edge

I see people seeking thrills, through cheap alcohol and pills.
To the point where they can't see, and surely fall.
I see the allure for some, who turn to taking hardcore drugs,
sometimes synthetic feels better than nothing at all.

I've been known to self destruct, when I'm down on my luck.
Some how I pull through, and became the man I am.
I have walked this earth to the edge of no return,
and turned around when I decide to give a damn.

It's my life, I want to live it. It's my fuck, I'm gunna give it.
If it's love, I want to feel it. If its fear I'll be brave to beat it.
I was beaten by commitment, because I tried to run away.
Until what I realized was, what I've been running from,
this whole time... Was me.
