lyrics

Call me a chilly breeze sweeping between your rotten teeth
Call me a billy goat hanging cliff side on the smallest rock
But it won't go over the edge
No I won't go over the edge
Not yet

Freaked out inside my house
Then I backed into a corner where I blacked out
Reached out to touch my fear
When I thought I was a goner, and that's still unclear
I'm flirting with the edge now, dear
My nails dug in the dirt
The best part about falling is the falling doesn't hurt

Call me a tiny rock
Stuck inside your shoe under your sock and throws you off
Call me that night at camp
When that broken hearted kid gave up their life to God again
And learns the hoax in the end
Well it's all a joke in the end
Yet again

Freaked out inside my house
Then I backed into a corner where I blacked out
Reached out to touch my fear
When I thought I was a goner, and that's still unclear
I'm flirting with the edge now, dear
My nails dug in the dirt
The best part about falling is the falling doesn't hurt

It's funny 'til the quiet part returns
Reminding you the landing is what hurts
The impact after making your way down
The frame of you dissolved into the ground
Joining all the sediment below
Leaving all the sentiment you know
Leaving all the sentiment
