I'm scared and I can't face it
I wrote but can't erase it
A warrant that's for my own arrest
And by own admission
I'm stuck in this position
A student who keeps failing the test
And unlike Galileo
I'm hiding 'neath the table
Afraid of the things that I see
Like Darwin's evolution
I'm facing persecution
Except that it is coming from me
But I'm not ashamed to say that
I never made the grade
Or lived up to the things that I said
'Cus each and every day
I know I'll find my way
Keep walking right up to the edge
I'm alone and I can't fight it
I'm wrong and I can't right it
And there ain't no way out I suppose
I'm damned and now I know it
Although I may not show it
A sinner in a church-goers clothes
And just like Don Quixote
Been fighting things I can't see
The monsters inside of my head
I know it's paranoia
That hissing old destroyer
It keeps me checking under my bed
And so it's my assumption
There's no way I can function
Confronting all the things I allege
So each and every day
I know I'll find my way
Keep walking right up to the edge
And unlike Robin Hood
I ain't doing any good
Taking but not giving away
It may be kind of useless
But I don't make excuses
In fact, I don't have nothing to say
Except I'm not ashamed to say that
I never made the grade
Or lived up to the things that I said
But each and every day
I know I'll find my way
I keep walking right up to the edge
I keep walking right up to the edge
I keep walking right up to the edge
