On the edge of death there's a lot you can learn
Your head's on fire let it burn let it burn
Just like a child in a book that you read
Who died without an element is that what you dread

On the edge of death there's a ledge for you
On the edge of death where the bells ring true

It's only a matter of time before you work it out
Once you were confident but now you're full of doubt
There's no point in living, the toys that you get
To derail them on the tracks of loving, yet

On the edge of death there's a ledge for you
On the edge of death where the bells ring true

The tired heart
Is an unskilled worker
Sometimes it just falls apart

It's only a matter of time before you work it out
Once you were confident but now you're full of doubt
There's no point in living, the toys that you get
To derail them on the tracks of loving and yet

On the edge of death there's a ledge for you
On the edge of death where the bells ring true
On the edge of death there's a heart that's been speared through
