you you put me on a stand - you made me bigger than life now watch me falling while you comprehend the truth you you realize I'm not the man you recognize you understand now what a fraud I've been I'm telling lies I'm acting cruel and something dies inside this fool this fool I've been - this fool that I am still attempts in vain to turn the tide I go insane I cannot hide I question if it's just a matter of free will this is the edge! should I jump or should I turn? this is the edge! should I stay stolid? Am I able to learn? this is the edge! you you thought you know me - now you see your epic fault and now it's time to face the oh so cheerless truth you you actualize that we were drowning in our lies you cannot change the facts - there is nothing left to say I can't regret the things I've done and I will let you come undone you don't deserve what I must do to you there is no need for you to fight that awkward seed has grown inside I'm sure it's hard for you to understand this is the edge! should I jump or should I turn? this is the edge! should I stay stolid? Am I able to learn? this is the edge!

about

Should I jump or should I turn? The key moment in life, when everything is still up in the air, when the future consists of exactly two alternatives... Human relations seem to have been made for these types of moments. Sometimes, we reach the point when we have to ask ourselves whether it is worth fighting for or better to let go.

“The Edge“ is the first single release from the album “Soon Before Sundown“.

The lyrics: highly autobiographical, very personal and yet of universal validity.

The sound: typically microClocks – with active support from José Alvarez-Brill (Wolfsheim, Unheilig, De/Vision) and valuable contributions by other remixers.
