Edge Of Eden

Jake Scott


There's a feild of gold
There's a sliver river
There's a place I know, I left it all behind

Chasin' every high
Chasin' sirens singing
I fell for every lie, and left me here to die

Tears taste bitter
Fool's gold glitters
Now I curse my pride

Finally I can say this to you
I have been a blind fool
Wasting all you gave 'til all that's left
Is sorrow breaking both my shoulders
I'd give anything to start over
'Til then I'll be here standing at the edge of eden

Now my hands are cold
And my stomachs empty
I betrayed my home for one forbidden bite

Tears taste bitter
Fool's gold glitters
Now I curse my pride

Finally I can say this to you
I have been a blind fool
Wasting all you gave 'til all that's left
Is sorrow breaking both my shoulders
I'd give anything to start over
'Til then I'll be here standing at the edge of eden

You gave me life
I gave you shame
I took all your love and I threw it away
Don't call me your son
I don't deserve to be counted as one who would carry your name

Finally I can say this to you
I have been a blind fool
Wasting all you gave 'til all that's left
Is sorrow breaking both my shoulders
I'd give anything to start over
'Til then I'll be here standing at the edge of eden
Standing at the edge of eden
Standing at the edge of eden
