On the Edge


When you hang on, into a thin line
and nothing ever seemes to get right
The steps you fought for forwardness
the resault of the fight
are more steps into the wrong track

The wrong track holds you back
search you up
to haunt you down
untill you stand still again

When you stand on the edge of all
the hope keeps up by a thin line
but the person has already fallen
And she wanders around
with the ghost of her own

The life has run away
but she is here, fighting still
for getting an inch back
in one step at a time

But when your soul is so pure and gentle
fragileness is not far away
I can feel it inside me
feel the tears bubbeling up
welling over me

When the breaths gets to heavy to bare
and the oxygen stops to exist
I can no longer breath in
This illness has taking over
taking over inches of my sin
