[verse 1]
This is self-destruction, resetting the system
Clashing with your morals to the point that you're trying to list them
Sometimes you need to cross the line to make sure that it's there
And take a break from reality and then pretend that you care
Been good for too long, not sure where I'm headed
Only thing I know is if I don't go, I'll regret it
So, I'm throwing money at these vices, hoping to numb it
Prices are highest when you want it, I try not to become it
But I reek of alcohol, smoke and stripper perfume
Glitter on my pillow case catches the light from the room
Found out I have a weakness for these girls who are broken
They need a pick-me-up, so I put faith in their hopes and
Dreams and make it seem I believe in their chance to succeed
But all I really need is a dance and then a kiss on the cheek
Don't recognize this person who I am quickly becoming
Every choice is an injection so I'm dealing with numbing

[hook]
Stepping to the edge just too see what that feelings like
Scared of missing out more than I'm afraid of heights
These choices I make, I might regret a few
But tonight I think I'll enjoy the view
I'll just enjoy the view
I'll just enjoy the view
These choices I make, I might regret a few
But tonight I think I'll enjoy the view

[verse 2]
The slope is too slick to keep a grip on this shit
Falling too quick, kinda miss not taking a risk
But that's a recipe for a disease and it's safe to assume
My contact in the past proves I'm not likely immune
Never wanted to be with the rest of the group
It never mattered to me but hey maybe it mattered to you
Now I feel I missed out and it's getting harder to fight it
Harder to hide it, temptation at my door uninvited
True freedom's not caring what others think of your choices
Feeling hopeless, cause fighting it is seemingly pointless
Staying out til dawn, spending more than I'm saving
Behaving in a way I've spent most my life hating
Has me in VIP with this dancer insisting
Cause she's been taught to spot a man who has a problem resisting
She caught me at a bad time and I'm glad that she did
Who knew you had to let go of your pride to finally live

[verse 3]
Soon enough will come quicker the shorter the fuse
The self-abuse is too much cause I have too much to lose
All the booze and pills are only bandages to these wounds
The pain never goes away when we're under the moon
These lessons learned from a phase that happened too late
Repercussions from those choices only adds to the weight
Took a wait and see approach, I'm hoping it works
And if it doesn't, I'm hoping that it doesn't get worse
(But) With all that being said, I don't regret it at all
The safe bet is only correct when you're afraid of the fall
Not proud of every choice but still happy I made them
Took each pro and con, examined over twice and then weighed them
If you want to live reckless, and then step out on that edge
No matter the consequences you have to sleep in that bed
But if you're tired of being told what you can and can't do
Take another step and join me in enjoying the view
