Edge of Despair (The 2:00 AM Song)
Young and full of venom
Love is a dream that keeps waking me up
Is it the ultimate life experience
Or just a nightmare that keeps me imprisoned
Young and full of venom
Love is a dream that keeps making me high
Is it the best life has to offer
Or just a kidnapper of my heart and soul
Young and full of venom
Love is a dream that keeps me shackled
even though I keep trying to set myself free
I find myself at the edge of despair
Young and full of venom
All the way to the edge of despair
Tell me what has love given me
just a great life experience or
the beginning of the descent
into losing myself
