The Edge We Chose

Still inside

Still too close

We heard the warning

And didn’t go

Soft voice, locked door We know what we came for You know

where I bend I know how you pretend We dress the truth

in smoke Then smile as something in us breaks

No accident, no alibi

We crossed the line with open eyes

Slow enough to feel it

Close enough to know

Nobody pushed us here

We chose how far to go

We’re standing on the edge we chose Holding on and letting go

One more step, nobody knows How far down this feeling goes We’re

standing on the edge we chose No disguise and no control If

this takes everything we own At least we didn’t fall alone

Low light, cold floor

We’ve felt this pull before

Your silence draws near

I answer without fear

We make a weapon out of want

Then wear the damage like a mark

You keep my secrets in your mouth I keep your darkness in

my heart

Slow enough to feel it

Close enough to know

Nobody pushed us here

We chose how far to go

We’re standing on the edge we chose Holding on and letting go

One more step, nobody knows How far down this feeling goes We’re

standing on the edge we chose No disguise and no control If

this takes everything we own At least we didn’t fall alone Don’t

call it fate Don’t call it need We fed the fire We

felt it breathe No hands were tied No eyes were closed We

knew the cost We chose,

we chose

Too close Don’t move

Our fault Our truth

No saints No sleep

One step— Come fall with me

We’re standing on the edge we chose Holding on and letting go

One more step, nobody knows How far down this feeling goes We’re

standing on the edge we chose No disguise and no control If

this takes everything we own At least we didn’t fall alone The

edge we chose The edge we chose—
