lyrics

I'm on the edge of bitterness
I've gotta find a way to step back
Don't know what more I can give
Without getting something back

I know... It's simply been way too long
Since you raised your voice in song
I know you're tired and you're weary
And you need to let it out somehow
So shout... Sing your troubles right out loud
Ain't that what this is all about
I know it's up to me but I don't know
What to do about it now

I'm on the edge of bitterness
Trying to find a way to step back
I know I should get over it
But it feels impossible to adapt

I've heard... Heard you're still feeling raw
But you've still got the heart to be strong
Don't drink the poison and expect
Your opponent to fall
You can rise above it all
Or you can make the choice to withdraw
Let it go or keep the hurt alive by hanging on

To the edge of bitterness
Or we can find a way to step back
Best I can do is to forgive
Forgive but not forget

I don't wanna drag you down
You found the faith
Don't lose it now
I know you're down
But I'm never gonna count you out

I'm on the edge of bitterness
I know I've gotten way off track
But I think my heart is on the mend
And I feel myself coming back

From the edge of bitterness
The best revenge is to forgive
I'm through with spiteful stubbornness
And catching up on all I've missed

Make this the end of bitterness
It's not what happens but how you wanna be
It's all in how you look at it
It all begins and ends with me

Stargazer
by Possible Bird

A work of endless nuance, the songs on STARGAZER sound at once organic and ethereal. Sean Kammer’s understated vocals and hypnotic guitar strum rise above swirling reverberations of unknown origins. Dreaming Out Loud Records
