Here again at the edge of the fall Take a deep breath and close your eyes The drop off is closer than it seems You're fading again Loose crystal smiles cling to your lips Too tired to hold on any longer We watched and we waited But the heart of the beast only grew stronger In waiting for it to die, we gave it life Gave it the will to carry on And no one thought to call And no bothered to write We just sat and we stared Carving bullets out of the walls Tired movies loop in our eyes Worn out songs eat away at our ears The darkness is pressing in on us Smothering, covering, choking the life force Remember, darling, we brought this on ourselves How many times did we say it couldn't get worse? It can't happen to me? How many times did we tell them all we were invinsible? Truth be told, love, We were only freshmen and amatuers.

Freshmen and Amateurs
Here again at the edge of the fall Take a deep breath and close your eyes The drop off is closer than it seems You're fading again Loose crystal smiles cling to your lips Too tired to hold on any longer We watched and we waited But the heart of the beast only grew stronger In waiting for it to die, we gave it life Gave it the will to carry on And no one thought to call And no bothered to write We just sat and we stared Carving bullets out of the walls Tired movies loop in our eyes Worn out songs eat away at our ears The darkness is pressing in on us Smothering, covering, choking the life force Remember, darling, we brought this on ourselves How many times did we say it couldn't get worse? It can't happen to me? How many times did we tell them all we were invinsible? Truth be told, love, We were only freshmen and amatuers.
