On The Ledge Lyrics

Anchorwoman: "Welcome back, now we take you downtown to a situation that is unfolding. A men is standing at the top of a building. We have our reporter live on the scene, please tell us what is happening!"

Reporter: "Yes, we are here flying over a building where an elegantly dressed man is standing on the ledge. We still don't know the causes but policemen and firemen are on the way to the scene and... wait, wait! Something strange is happening now: he is sitting!"

Lit by the world outside me like never before
They’re just waiting for more, morbidly
Tonight I’ll be here with thoughts unclear
Taking a journey with me
Retracing my whole life of misery

All the choices I have made
And all the ones that I’ve delayed
Are tormenting me
Like a ghost that I am still feeding
I wish I had the courage to lose myself and fall

I sat down on a ledge in my hometown
That will condemn me or forgive me
I’m at a crossroads, where is my way out?
To live in regrets or die to make amends?

Eyes on me, I’m the freak
Can you see me, my beloved?
On your TV screens, there’s just what you all created
Drop by drop and step after step walking over me

Suddenly sounds became much duller
As I am diving in the depths of memory
Will I find the answers to it all?
Will I rescue myself?
I was asking just for one more possibility
But every god seems to be deaf to me

Fasten my seatbelt and close my eyes
Journey will begin in a moment
Bite the bullet and you’ll slowly understand the reason

I sat down on a ledge in my hometown
That will condemn me or forgive me
I’m at a crossroads, where is my way out?
To live in regrets and fall to pieces
Or die as a sinner and make my amends?
The answers are here or thirty floors away
