Life on the Razor's Edge [TPASS]

Rest in Peace Neil Peart <br><br><br> Proud swagger out of the school yard<br> Waiting for the world's applause<br> Rebel without a conscience<br> Martyr without a cause<br><br> Static on your frequency<br> Electrical storm in your veins<br> Raging at unreachable glory<br> Straining at invisible chains<br><br> And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge<br> Staring down into a heartless sea<br> Can't face life on a razor's edge<br> Nothing's what you thought it would be<br><br> All of us get lost in the darkness<br> Dreamers learn to steer by the stars<br> All of us do time in the gutter<br> Dreamers turn to look at the cars<br> Turn around and turn around and turn around<br> Turn around and walk the razor's edge<br> Don't turn your back<br> And slam the door on me<br><br> It's not as if this barricade<br> Blocks the only road<br> It's not as if you're all alone<br> In wanting to explode<br><br> Someone set a bad example<br> Made surrender seem all right<br> The act of a noble warrior<br> Who lost the will to fight<br><br> And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge<br> Staring down into a heartless sea<br> Done with life on a razor's edge<br> Nothing's what you thought it would be<br><br> No hero in your tragedy<br> No daring in your escape<br> No salutes for your surrender<br> Nothing noble in your fate<br> Christ, what have you done? <br><br>-N Peart/Rush
