The Edge from City Soul by Russ Green

A SINGLE BEAM OF SUNSHINE HITS THE DARKNESS OF MY ROOM
EMPTY BOTTLES ON THE TABLES AND MORE ON THE FLOOR
MY MIND IS HAZY I’M FEELING SHAKY AND IT AIN'T FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE

MAMA SAID SAID LORD THAT I WAS JUST A SENSITIVE CHILD
MY WIFE PROVED THAT RIGHT COPS DON’T WANT ME IN HER LIFE
AND THIS LIFE'S TRIALS AND STRAIN HAS PUT ME ON THIS TRAIN OF PAIN

I GOT ROCKS AND STONES IN MY BED DARK CLOUDS ARE IN MY HEAD
TEARS ROLLIN FROM MY EYES AS I TELL MY MIND THAT I'LL BE FINE
BUT NOTHIN CHANGE THINGS REMAIN THE SAME OH LORD DON’T HEAR DON’T YOU HEAR POOR ME

I’M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A RAZOR BLADE WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET
IS IT IN MY MIND AM I DOING FINE OR IS IT A RECENT MEMORY
I’M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A RAZOR BLADE WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET
IS IT IN MY MIND AM I DOING FINE OR IS IT A RECENT MEMORY

FLOAT FROM JOB TO JOB CAN’T FIND WHAT SUITS ME
GOTTA BE A MAN DO THE BEST YOU CAN IS WHAT MY FATHER USED TO SAY
BUT IF I HAVE TO LIVE THIS LIFE AGAIN IT’S GON BE SOME KIND OF SIN

LIKE A RACE CAR DRIVER I’M PRESSING DOWN HARD ON THE GAS
I'M LOOKING FOR MY FRIENDS IN THE BOTTOM OF A WHISKEY GLASS
BUT I'M ALL ALONE AND I’M ON MY OWN AND IT FEELS LIKE I'M LIKE I’M LIVING IN VAIN

I GOT ROCKS AND STONES IN MY BED DARK CLOUDS ARE IN MY HEAD
TEARS ROLLIN FROM MY EYES AS I TELL MY MIND THAT I'LL BE FINE
BUT NOTHIN CHANGE THINGS REMAIN THE SAME OH LORD YOU DON’T HEAR DON’T YOU HEAR POOR ME

I’M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A RAZOR BLADE WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET
IS IT IN MY MIND AM I DOING FINE OR IS IT A RECENT MEMORY
I’M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A RAZOR BLADE WITH NO SHOES ON MY FEET
IS IT IN MY MIND AM I DOING FINE OR IS IT A RECENT MEMORY
