The Edge of the Knife

Verse 1

Broken coffee cup on the kitchen floor

Same old shadow standing at my door

Another sunrise, another chance to breathe

Sometimes it's hard to see the wood for the trees

Got a pocket full of worries, a head full of dreams

Life is tighter than the stitching on my seams

But I’m walking, talking, making my own way

Trying to find the beauty in the mundane.

Chorus

Oh, this beautiful mess we call a life

Dancing on the edge of a jagged knife

With the highs and the lows and the spaces between

It's the wildest story that I've ever seen

Yeah, I’m learning to bend, to flow, and to fight

Making it mine, with all of my might.

Verse 2

Met a stranger on the train with a story to tell

About finding heaven in the middle of hell

Said "Take the punches, but don't forget to smile"

"Life’s a long road, but it’s worth every mile"

I’ve been scared of the dark, scared of the gain

Scared that I’d break under all of this pain

But the scars are just proof that I lived it all out

No room for fear, no room for doubt.

Chorus

Oh, this beautiful mess we call a life

Dancing on the edge of a jagged knife

With the highs and the lows and the spaces between

It's the wildest story that I've ever seen

Yeah, I’m learning to bend, to flow, and to fight

Making it mine, with all of my might.

Bridge

Time turns flames to embers, turn the page

We’re all just players on this endless stage

If the world throws rocks, I’ll build a tower

Finding my strength, claiming my power.

Chorus

Oh, this beautiful mess we call a life

Dancing on the edge of a jagged knife

With the highs and the lows and the spaces between

It's the wildest story that I've ever seen

Yeah, I’m learning to bend, to flow, and to fight

Making it mine, with all of my might.

Outro

Yeah, making it mine.

One day at a time.

Just breathe.

Just live.
