The Edge
Matt Stewart-Evans Lyrics

Was it what I said?
Did I say something that affected you?

I dance on the Mirror's Edge
I live on the boundary between reality and illusion

Still remember nah nah nah hey nah nah
I haven't forgotten about the past

I've Arrived At Non-Places say nah nah
I've reached a point where I feel disconnected from reality

So was it me laying next to you?
Was it really me sleeping beside you?

Live as a me that I never knew
Living as a version of myself that I never anticipated

Cosplayed as Anne Frank all the time
I constantly pretended to be someone I'm not

I'm wondering wasn't it fate?
I'm questioning if it was destined to happen

Fell in love with the highs and lows
I fell in love with the intensity of our relationship

The light, the light peaks, your eyes are closed
During the moments of happiness, your eyes were closed

And that sun beam it got in my way
But that ray of sunlight obstructed my path

See through the lies at last
Finally seeing through the deceit

And I couldn't hide your cracks
I couldn't conceal your flaws

So can I leave my past in the past?
Can I move on from my previous experiences?

So I can see you through that dirty glass is all
So I can see you despite the obstacles that cloud my perception

Swear to god I saw you move without me
I genuinely believe I witnessed you moving forward without me

Let alone move on without me
Not to mention progressing in life without me

Reflect on without me
Contemplating our past experiences without my involvement

Swear to god I saw you move your body
I genuinely believe I saw you dancing

And I didn't see you take it light
But I didn't see you approach it lightly

Made me pick up the pieces
You made me gather the fragments

And I look for a reason you were dancing in circles round the mirror
I search for an explanation as to why you were engaging in repetitive behavior in front of the mirror

Running from my past like a marathon uh
Escaping from my previous experiences tirelessly

Because we never really looked at how far we gone uh
Because we never truly acknowledged the extent of our journey

One side pain, the other side insane
One side is filled with pain, the other side with madness

If you feel the, it's all part of the game
If you sense it, it's just a part of the game

Born in this world of tears, will die laughing
Born in a world full of sorrow, will die with laughter

Drive me insane, the jag, I might crash it
Pushing me to madness, the sharp turn might make me crash

Everything they do is a justified reaction
Everything they do is simply a justified response

How you go conscious, leave yourself fascist?
How do you become aware while still being oppressive to yourself?

Dance for the Mirror's Edge
Engage in actions to live on the boundary between reality and illusion

Never ever around
Never present, never available

Never wants me around
Never desires my presence

And that's what I'm tryna say
And that's what I'm trying to express

Now you, you've been moving on
Now, you have been progressing

In the mirror all alone
Alone, reflecting in front of the mirror

Will I see you after all
Will I still encounter you in the end?

Looking back and standing tall?
Reflecting on the past and remaining confident?

Dance for the Mirror's Edge
Engage in actions to live on the boundary between reality and illusion

On the Mirror's Edge
On the boundary between reality and illusion

Said dance on the Mirror Edge
Indeed, dance on the boundary between reality and illusion

And that's all the Mirror said
And that's all the reflection showed
