Edge of Insanity

I have pulled out my hair
I have cried till out of breadth
I have called till my mouth dry
I have asked why 
I have pleaded
I have sworn 
I have died down into the ground
I have lost myself and found me again
Yes, this is where I have been
Edge of insanity

I have watched the sky turn blue
I have watched turn red ,orange, purple
And wished I was there upon it's beauty

I have walked on the edge, on a ledge
Stood on a sword blade , a steel blade, a life blade
Almost falling , almost jumping
I have dreamt upon a star
Upon a moon
Upon a sky
Which one I do not remember

I have torn my hair
I have been without breadth
I have danced till dawn
Sang till light
Ran till night
Edge of insanity
