rex paul: Music
Talk Me Down
Take another breath and close my eyes
Say another prayer that sounds like lies
Fake another glancing smile dying inside all the while
Posing for the how are you's in style
But if you really want to know the truth
I think that I am headed for the roof
I didn't really want to go but now I'm walking kind of slow
Looking down on all the folks below
chorus
Talk me down off this ledge
I'm too close to the edge
Tell me life is worth the fight of
All the pain and sleepless nights
Talk me down
Can you tell me there's a peaceful sanctuary
Where the madness of the query of despair is finally dispelled
Will you take me to the place where peace and hope and truth and grace
And love and faith will take away the power of hell
chorus
Talk me down off this ledge
I'm too close to the edge
Tell me life is worth the fight of
All the pain and sleepless nights
Talk me down
No one really seems to be concerned
It makes them too uncomfortable to learn
That if they really looked down deep they are feeling just like me
Who are we to ask to set us free
