Standing on the rock of Gibraltar
As it slowly sinks into the soft sand
Believing that the ground cannot falter
What a fool believes until their own end
Out on the precipice
Looking down over the edge
To blow your life into bits
Just put your heart in your hand
An iceberg on the horizon
Clear as the nose on my face (as the noose on my neck)
Just look in the mirror and keep lying
And smear your pride all over the place
Out on the precipice
The uncertainty of where I now stand
Choosing to live with this
It’s loneliness as if on demand
Time being ripped like a band-aide
Illusions blending in with my dreams
A patchwork existence to salve me
Trust has been torn at the seams
Out on the precipice
Well past the point of return
Smeared in her bile & spit
A lesson I’ll never learn
Storm clouds that hover above me
That I wouldn’t know myself without
Wounds I keep fresh and from healing
My loss is that which I’m all about
Out on the precipice
A comfort in knowing this place
A petty hateful trip
Becomes a soothing embrace
Out on the precipice
A knot I'll never unwind
Neck deep in the abyss
Closure that I’ll never find
I’ll never find...
