The Edges of Ledges

Always looking over my shoulder
Wondering what I’ll see
The end of a journey
All anxious and hurried
I found my focus
Well, it found me

Whether it’s the raucous, the feral
Or ones behind locked gates
They all gravitate towards the edges of ledges
While wearing blinders on their face

If someone would show me thier perfect utopia
I’d turn right round to see
How they were succeeding
Instead I concede
People are only as good as they need be

But what really bothers me is
A people are largely defined by their edges
Not their center
More like the rings around Saturn
It becomes what you’re known for

Whether it’s the raucous, the feral
Or ones behind locked gates
They all gravitate towards the edges of ledges
While wearing blinders on their face
