The Brink

Don't wanna give up
I wanna keep on, I don't want to die
Don't wanna give up
I wanna keep on, and I have to try

All the years of self-destruction
Finally taken their toll
And now The Piper
His hand extended
has laid a claim on my soul

Too many nights of summoned numbness
And of running away
My body gave out, my mind exhausted
Left me counting the days

All the times I tried to walk away
Couldn't take the first step
Never enough and
Always wanting
Are the strands of this web

Too many nights of summoned numbness
And of running away
I finally took it: a frantic stumble
I finally found my own way
