I'm living my life too close to the edge
It wouldn't take much to knock me off the ledge
I'm trying to keep from losing it all
And doing my damnedest not to fall.

Things once clear are now so jumbled
Countless are the times I've stumbled
In trying to choose between wrong and right
Sometimes the decisions are not too bright.

I'm fighting a battle that I must win
But too often I feel like I'm losing again
Just trying to keep from going insane
And hang on to whatever is left of my brain.

Pressures hastening my descent into insanity
Walking the fine line between pride and vanity
Close to the edge is not the place to go
I'm walking that tightrope, so I should know.
