Merkules - Close to the edge lyrics
rate me[Chorus]
Please just leave me alone, cause I wanna live my life
This ain't no family what you doing to me just ain't right
Can't let it go to my head i'm standing close to the edge
lets have a toast to the dead, I gotta hope for the best
Good kid 13 he had a bright future, his father was an alcoholic and a drug user
His mom died when he was 7 from a stoke so getting pissed drunk was the only way he could cope
And some would hope he would treat his son right, but he doesn't when hes drinking all he wants to do is fight
Life, its a beautiful thing he says the pain doesn't hurt him cause its more of a sting
The living room covered in blood like its a ring, the bottle hit the sorrow that the memories bring
The son had friends that he'd only see at school, and he was not a fool so they said he wasn't cool
Followed the rules but he wan't scared to break em, cause his father wasn't ... he didn't have the heart to face him
His friends knew it but still they let him hurt him
His dads only mad cause his sons a better person.
Was it worth it all the pain and the agony its almost like the reaper gets his way when hes mad at me,
its a tragedy hes feeling like its lose lose and to escape it all he needs to do is use booze
You wouldn't last a day walkin in this dudes shoes
So fuckin out of it he can't desipher who's who
Now hes lost and hes searchin for some new clues, thats what he gets for no listenin so boohoo
[Chorus]
Please just leave me alone, cause I wanna live my life
This ain't no family what you doing to me just ain't right
Can't let it go to my head i'm standing close to the edge
lets have a toast to the dead, I gotta hope for the best
He's 15 now he's failing out of class, started drug dealing so hes saving up some cash
Hes on his last rock cause he gave it to his dad
Soon he'll have enough paper to pay for his own pad
but if he doesn't then his dad will be stunned cause the only thing he ever really had was his son
Underneath his pillow where he stashes his gun
when he got it he would go out and just blast it for fun
Now he needs it cause theres crack in his gums
he forgot about his family and thats number one
he moved out and now his dads just a bum every now again he hand over the last of his crumbs
and its sad cause his mom would be crying if she knew it
looking down on him like why you gotta do this
so stupid but he felt he never had the chance, so when he meets w/ the devil he'd better do the dance
all his friends looking up to him like 'you the man'
cause they seen him make some money off of moving grams
so impresionable he was always running til he sold his dad the ... crack that actually put him to shame
[Chorus]
Please just leave me alone, cause I wanna live my life
This ain't no family what you doing to me just ain't right
Can't let it go to my head i'm standing close to the edge
lets have a toast to the dead, I gotta hope for the best
