about

The title song for the album! This outlines what the story of the album is all about.

lyrics

Here I stand on the precipice
Looking out and there’s nothing that’s quite like this
Still I hold on tight

If I go where I want to go
Every step is another place I don’t know
But I have to take

Well, these pleasing sights
Are my brief respite
But now is the time
You must fight the good fight

In my head is a masterpiece
But my pen will never me succeed
Until I get it down

Every shape is a mystery
Is this fate or a misinformed fantasy?
It’s all illusions now

Well, these pleasing sights
Are my brief respite
But now is the time
You must fight the good fight

And if you saw me, dear
Would you run in fear?
Or would you stand up
And help me fight the good fight?

This unordained path
Won’t make me turn back
And though there’s darkness
I’ll cut through the night

It’s my choice to make
You can leave or you can stay
But in the end it’s me
Who’ll fight the good fight
Oh, fight the good fight

Dancing through a darkened hall
Cracks appear throughout the walls
You drift away into the night

And soon the roof is careening down
And panic sets in; I’m screaming out your name
But I hear no reply

Well, in the ruins of what once we knew
Well, here I stand with faith askew
You ran and left me here to die

The soot and rubble are all around
But nonetheless I hear the sound
To rise again, and retake up this fight

A calm amidst chaotic voice
Compels me to affirm my choice

Well you’ve been my companion
But now you’ve tripped the wire
My painful complication
Always policing my desires; well

Well, I want to
And I need to
To just let you go

Well, I’ll make no concessions
I’ll fight this fight alone

Singing you won’t hold me down again
Oh, no, you won’t hold me
(You won’t hold me down again)
Oh, no, you won’t hold me
(You won’t hold me down again)
Oh, no, you won’t hold me
(You won’t hold me down again)
Oh, no, you won’t

Here I stand on the precipice
Somewhere deep in the resonance
I hear my name
Calling me to rise

City lights on the skyline
Sing to me with a melody
I can’t define
But I know by heart

And I’ll be the one who will fight
The good fight

Here I stand on the precipice
Looking out and there’s nothing that’s quite like this
