On The Fence Lyrics

I am over my head, the river that sustains became a waterfall
Don't let go, I'm in too deep and I can't breathe

Under, pulling me down, the long arm of the critic pathological
And I digress, I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one

On the fence again
Means have met their end
The winds of change around the bend
And I'm on the fence my friend

I stand close to the edge, the crystal fault gleaming with perfection
And I wonder why the glass beneath my feet gives away
I am bringing to life a puppet of pretension and denial
And so haunting is the painted affect of his smile
Painted affect of his smile

On the fence again
Means have met their ends
The winds of change around the bend
I'm on the fence my friend
On the fence again
The ghost that I befriend
Is with me 'til the bitter end
I'm on the fence my friend

I'm wandering through my field of dreams
Darkened clouds surround me
Reckless I abandoned you
Throwing caution to the wind
Diary of dead memories resonates inside me
Dissonance from afar, so blessed so cursed we are
Pages of my life torn away and thrown to the sky
Me and my shadow why, it's never easy to say goodbye

Crawling before we believed we could stand
Fall after fall we would trust once again
Shattered and broken love the illusion takes us by the hand
When it abandons you, you will understand

When you held the rose in your hand
And you failed to understand
You held to tight, the thorns they made you bleed
You laid love down to die, wilt away before your eyes
Flaws are of your own, not of the rose you fool

I am over my head, the river that sustains became a waterfall
Don't let go, I'm in to deep and I can't breathe
Under, pulling me down, the long arm of the critic pathological
And I digress, I know I'm not the only one
