Edge of Reason

[Verse 1] He's been walking on a tightrope, in the sky of broken dreams, Juggling the weight of the world, tearing at the seams. Life's been throwing punches, he’s been taking them all, But there's only so much you can take before you start to fall. [Lead-Up] One wrong step, a fragile mind, A life of cracks, he leaves behind. Now he's standing on the line, Where the shadows intertwine. [Chorus] It's the straw that breaks him, pushing him over the edge, The final heartbeat of a man, standing on the ledge. It’s the little things, the final swing, That brings the giant to his knees, It's the straw that breaks him, bringing him to plead. [Verse 2] Each day's a mirror of the last, gray skies over a sunken path, Promises shattered like glass, in the aftermath. But it was just a parking ticket, on his rusted, trusty ride, That set the fury burning, something snapped inside. [Lead-Up] Now he's screaming in the rain, A silent scream to end the pain. In the moment of a flash, His world turns to ash. [Chorus] It's the straw that breaks him, pushing him over the edge, The final heartbeat of a man, standing on the ledge. It’s the little things, the final swing, That brings the giant to his knees, It's the straw that breaks him, bringing him to plead. [Bridge] Guitar solo slicing through like the final straw on his back, A crescendo of emotion, a last stand, a final act. [Verse 3] But in the eye of the hurricane, in the silence of his mind, A spark of hope, a whisper, a strength he thought he’d never find. He turns his back to the abyss, to the edge he’ll no more roam, With a flicker of defiance, he takes the long way home. [Chorus] It was the straw that broke him, but he's standing tall, From the brink of destruction, he's walking through the wall. It's the little things, that make him swing, But now he rises from his knees, That straw that broke him, now sets him free. [Outro] Life may beat you down, turn you inside out and back, But every ending's a beginning, just a new track. It's the straw that breaks you, can also make you, Turn the page, start anew, let the light break through.
