I walk along a thin line darling
Dark shadows follow me
Here's where life's dream lies disillusioned (disillusioned)
The edge of reality


Oh I can hear strange voices echo (echo)
Laughing with mockery (mockery)
The border line of doom I'm facing (I'm facing)
The edge of reality


* On the edge of reality she sits there tormenting me
The girl with the nameless face
On the edge of reality where she overpowers me
With fears that I can't explain
She drove me to the point of madness (madness)
The brink of misery (misery)
If she's not real then I'm condemned to (condemned to)
The edge of reality


* Repeat


Reality, ...... reality, ...... reality, ...... reality,
reality, ...... reality, ...... reality, ...... reality
