Name: Knife Edge
Duration: P00H04M03S
Description: The first time I've added guitar to a track in the public domain (started relearning 18 months ago - a few acoustic covers available on youtube). I'm very pleased with how this has turned out. The idea was for a sort of dreampop thing, which is not really how it ended up, but I love it all the same.

lyrics

All I can offer you is
We'll always be
So close together
Whatever the weather
On this knife edge

I stood atop the mountain
& I saw nothing
I stared into the sun blindly
While behind me
Paradise stretched

(When fire melts
The statue of ice
No trace is left
But in memory
yes)

Chorus
Buried in the rubble of a broken dream
That I never knew I'd had

Running down the street
With a knife in my hand
Hailing a black
Jumping in the back
Carry the load

Perhaps we're all
A little bit mad
Perhaps we're all
Close to the edge
But out of sight
Like a cliff at night

(Hurtling onwards
No turning back
The past on my shoulder
Pushing me forward
Or is it pulling me back)

Chorus
