Edge of the world

Standing on the edge of the world With one foot in the air The Crashing waves beneath him Crying tears of despair Another death won’t matter Who would really care He broke his vow and prayed to god But god was never there He close his eyes to listen To the drumming of his heart It beats the story of a broken man Who tore himself apart The drink just made him bitter The drugs just numbed the pain All his friends don’t understand The thoughts going through his brain So he walked to the end of the world With a though so clear and sober He took a breath to clear his mind And took one more step over.
