Verse 1:

Scraping by
The skin o’ my teeth
Man it’s nothing but bad luck
Bad means to bad ends
New starts recrudesce
To onset cycle
Of suffering again
A new chance a new hope
Man, that line sinks like a joke
Still, I can’t seem to smile
‘Cause there’s no pain no joy
If I could destroy
this indifference in my heart
I’d be fine, for awhile

Chorus:

On the edge
This urge to jump
Wells up inside and take ahold of me
It fills the room
‘Till I can’t breathe
Though my feet are planted
In my mind I know it passes
Or so I tell myself that I’m just
Wasting the day but really
I’m just wasting away

Verse 2:

Black cat in my path
She’ll be dead by the week
Haunts me in the night
There's no still in my sleep
‘Cause it’s cold, and I’m alone
And sinking like a stone
Into a sea of horrible dreams
And the day is no better
Even lighter than a feather
I feel the weight too strong
I fear the worst
I feel it coming
And I know it won’t be long

Chorus:

On the edge this urge to jump’s
Been here so long
That it’s a part of me
I can’t get away
And I see
That my feet can’t stand it
But I think it probably passes
So I tell myself I’m just
Wasting the day but I know
I’m just wasting away

Chorus
