On the brink of complying
I'm very slow
And I say to myself:

"Oh no, don't go
Well I like you the way you are
So please don't change
Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?"

So today it starts and tomorrow it ends
I lost my soul and I lost my friends
So today it ends and tomorrow it starts
The brooding of a million hearts

Music's the way, the only way I know
It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go

'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to stay
What's here through the night
May be gone by day

On the brink of attack
I'm society prone
And they're telling me:

"You should find out what is wrong"

I think I'm alright
I'm still putting up a fight
But I keep on losing
Soon I'll be dying of fright

On the brink of insanity
I see my friend
And I'm trying to tell him:

"It can't be the end
Well, you've made me live
Now you've got more to give"

If he goes o'er that brink
Who will I cry with?

Because music's the way, the only way I know
It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go

'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to stay
What's here through the night
May be gone by day
What's here through the night
May be gone by day
