Edge of despair.
I'll fill this air with the sound of desperation.
I have a gun and will draw it with no hesitation.
To feel the sensation of ruination I swear
I am at the edge of despair.
Edge of desire.
I'll ignite your flame with the heat of mine
If you'd let me I'll play til I've learned.
Til I earn the burn of your fire. I am no liar
I am at the edge of my desire.
So let me fall...

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
