On The Brink

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I can't move, I can't sleep

I can't eat, I can't breathe

Without pain

I feel weak, I feel trapped

I feel tired, I feel sapped

Once again

I am done, I am gone

I am spent, I am drawn

To the brink

Every time this happens

I lose the ground I've gained

If this is what my life is

Complaints can't be contained

I'm beat down, I'm held up

I'm held down, I'm beat up

Is there nothing I can do?

I'm led right, I'm pulled wrong

I'm pushed right, I'm dead wrong

If I admit that I am through

I was strong, I was me

I was whole, I was free

Without pain

I want hope, I want time

I want health, I want life

Once again

I need help, I need you

I need peace, I need to

Live again

Every time this happens

I should be more aware

It's nothing I can't handle

Even though it seems unfair

I'm beat down, I'm held up

I'm held down, I'm beat up

Is there nothing I can do?

I'm led right, I'm pulled wrong

I'm pushed right, I'm dead wrong

If I admit that I am through

Evaluating, complicating, accelerating to the brink

Accumulating, calculating, substantiating at the brink

Negotiating, meditating, separating on the brink

Retaliating, isolating, evaporating from the brink

Hallucinating, regulating, medicating to the brink

Disintegrating, speculating, fluctuating at the brink

Concentrating, navigating, suffocating on the brink

Operating, supplicating, liberating from the brink

I have faith, I have will

I have strength, I have still

To overcome

I won't stop, I won't break

I won't lose, I won't take

Anymore

I will stand, I will fight

I will try, I will right

What is wrong

Every time this happens

I know what I derive

I always receive strength from you

That helps me to survive

I'm beat down, I'm held up

I'm held down, I'm beat up

But there's something I can do

I'm led right, I'm pulled wrong

I'm pushed right, I'm dead wrong

If I think I won't pull through
