Contrivance – Every Time lyrics

I’m standing at the edge
Look over the ledge
The below is still calling
And I turn my head away

Its my boarding call
Running down the long hall
But I’m fading into emptiness
And theres no one to tell me

Every time I look down
I see the drop and I can’t take the jump now
Don’t want to fall, don’t want to fly
And I can’t help myself from asking why
It’s all me, night and day
Every time I get close, I just slip farther away
And every time I look down
I see the drop and can’t take the jump now

Many times have past
Many times don’t last
I try to jump now
But even heroes don’t walk on glass

The boy couldn’t make it
But I’m not one to speak
The drop is a no-man’s land
What is me, thats what I seek

Every time I look down
I see the drop and I can’t take the jump now
Don’t want to fall, don’t want to fly
And I can’t help myself from asking why
It’s all me, night and day
Every time I get close, I just slip farther away
And every time I look down
I see the drop and can’t take the jump now
