I understand, you’re the captain, the pilot And in your hand, I oughta be docile, pliant It’s your world, after all, I’m just living within it And if that life’s all a lie, well I guess I’m complicit Do you feel like God from atop of that pulpit? At the edge of the world, Should I jump, or just spit? This home is a mold and I break from within it But if I do what I’m told Then just maybe I’ll fit

Edge of the World
I understand, you’re the captain, the pilot And in your hand, I oughta be docile, pliant It’s your world, after all, I’m just living within it And if that life’s all a lie, well I guess I’m complicit Do you feel like God from atop of that pulpit? At the edge of the world, Should I jump, or just spit? This home is a mold and I break from within it But if I do what I’m told Then just maybe I’ll fit
This was inspired by “The Hand” by Annabelle Dinda.
