Lyrics

You're on the edge staring down
You wonder will it hurt when your body hits the ground
Fingers tight but losing grip
And this the end, your roller coaster's last crazy trip

You're beyond the things that kept you keeping on
It won't be long until the game is won
But not by you, not by anything you do
You thrash about and figure out you haven't got a clue
You can't lose, can't face anything you choose
You've lost your way, I'm here to say that dreams are coming true
But not for you

The fates will speak and clip your string
Like Icarus you've seen the sun melt your perfect wings
You were close but couldn't see
Now all that's left, bitter regret, plants its hateful seed

You?re beyond...

But not by you...

Oh now blinded by the light
Never such a fright
As what you see here
Oh now walls are caving in
Your head is in a spin
There?s still a chance to win

But not by you...
