Staring Down

Violence in the violins

Getting over, can't look past this

All that's lost in the passing glimpse

Breathing out, breathing in

Cutting out when you're cutting in

In the blink of an eye, left nameless

Holding on 'til the bitter end

Breaking out, breaking in

Walk

To the edge

Staring down

Facing down

Walk

To the edge

Not unknown

Not alone
