The Edge of Perfection

by Anthrax

Lyrics
Oh-whoa, oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The damage I've caused, the reasons I've forged
Psychopath's disharmony
Useless feelings, blunted and mean
Sanity's not what it seems

With every breath I take, every choice I make
I won't die on this hill, no, I won't
With every breath I own, turning every stone
I have no bones left to throw
Feels like I'm digging a hole in the ocean
Tunneling into the sea

My heart
My heart breaks, it's on me
Can't you see?
It's my addiction
My heart
My heart breaks
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge of perfection

Self-aware to the point of obliteration
A psychopath's luck, the mind sways
The cold and hard truth, with so much to lose
Nobody's coming to save you

With every breath I take, every choice I make
I won't die on this hill, no, I won't
With every breath I own, turning every stone
I have no bones left to throw
Feels like I'm digging a hole in the ocean
Tunneling into the sea

My heart
My heart breaks, it's on me
Can't you see?
It's my addiction
My heart
My heart breaks
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge of perfection

Oh-whoa, oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

My eyes, my eyes
Are failing the glaring unknown
Dethroned by waves of grief that grind me with their teeth
Their teeth

My heart
My heart breaks, it's on me
Can't you see?
It's my addiction
My heart
My heart breaks
I'm on the edge
I'm on the edge of perfection

Oh-whoa, oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-whoa, oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh
Oh-whoa, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
