Clinging

The countdown's started, and I'm paralyzed
The timer's ticking, and I'm petrified
Held in Limbo, desensitized
I said I wasn't scared; I lied

The days pass in a blur
My thoughts reduce to a slur
Pushing through that extra mile
Waiting to stand trial

Holding on to this thread
Connecting me to reality
On the edge of insanity
I lie in wait

Hanging on to the edge
Fingers trembling with emotion
Categorizing my destruction
I lie in wait

And here I wait, unchanging as stone
Here I wait, wanting to atone
I'll hold on to this crag till my last breath
Silent in life, silent in death
