The Brink

Humming along
Just a Bard with a song

I thought I knew me better
Playing it safe was
Never my game, guess
I should’ve known I’d never
Feel satisfied
Why’m I surprised? Why?

Why am I always
Standing on the brink of something?
Just out of my reach
I'm standing on the brink of something
Knew that I want, I know that it’s almost mine
Yet something tells me I’ll
Somehow always be
Standing on the brink of something new

I’d beg the universe to
Throw me a bone, but I know
I'm doing fine and just won’t
Settle for fine, it’s my fault

Making them proud, still I can’t
Seem to slow down to take a
Breathe in, breathe out
I’ll rest when I settle down in the ground

Why am I always
Standing on the brink of something?
Just out of my reach
I'm standing on the brink of something
Knew that I want, I know that it’s almost mine
Yet something tells me I’ll
Somehow always be
Standing on the brink of something new

Learning it doesn’t
Matter the things
That I accomplish
I’ll always be
I’ll always be

Standing on the brink of something
Just out of my reach
I'm standing on the brink of everything
That I want, never the time
To celebrate yesterday’s victory when I’ll
Somehow I’ll always be
Standing on the brink of something new

Standing on the brink of
Standing on the brink of
Standing on the brink of (Call me the Bard)
Standing on the brink of (Tho I'm a tortoise, I’ve got nothing to prove)
Standing on the brink of (Now you’ll never be known)
Standing on the brink of (To take on a side quest sometime)
Standing on the brink of (Death is marching steadfast toward us)
Standing on the brink of (See me the same way that I see you)
Standing on the brink of (Call me the Bard)
Standing on the brink of
Everything
