Strange hands taking my wrist again

Somehow I'm still alone

Voices shaking my steps again

I follow

I'm a little bit on the edge

Hold up and out of reach

I can't hear much of what you said

To come for me

Don't let me tumble away

Into the throws of the shadowy bay

I cling to the rock and it's crumbling off

Toss me a heavy rope, it's a slippery slope

Come bail me out of this God forsaken precipice
