Act of Corrosion - The Edge Lyrics

I stand on the edge
But the fall, calls my name
My name
My name
Scars run deep, they tell the tale
Battles fought within my soul
Wounded child, now grown and frail
Chains of the past, I seek control
But for me, the fight's not over
Grasping life with hands that shake
In my mind, the storm's still raging
Echoes loud from cries unheard
Mirror's glare, self-hatred aging
In their words, I'm still that scared child
I carry the weight, it's a heavy load
Fighting the ghost that never lets go
Each day's a mountain, steep to climb
Dragging the chains of yesteryears' crime
Nightmares bleed into the day
Echoes of a voice that can't decay
Looking in the mirror, all I see is a ghost
Haunted by the host that hurts the most
Shadows creep, they never silence
Whispers that tear through the mental violence
Each battle scar, a story line
Fading ink, but the pain's still mine
I carry the weight, it's a heavy load
Fighting the ghost that never lets go
Each day's a mountain, steep to climb
Dragging the chains of yesteryears' crime
I stand on the edge, but the fall calls my name
In my mind, the storm's still raging
Echoes loud from cries unheard
Mirror's glare, self-hatred aging
In their words, I'm still that scared child
Tears disguise as rage unfurled
My silence screams in a broken world
I carry the weight, it's a heavy load
Fighting the ghost that never lets go
Each day's a mountain, steep to climb
Dragging the chains of yesteryears' crime
I stand on the edge, but the fall calls my name
As I stare at this blade, it will never be the same
