The Precipice (not tonight luv, ta)
 

You think I need
A girl like you
With beauty unearnt
And so abused
My eyes may glaze
In tempted mist
But you won’t push me over
That precipice

Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice

The most loaded questions
Are most easily asked
It seems I walk
The hardest path
But my life is fine
Just as it is
You won’t push me over
That precipice

Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice

You offer up
A short-term bliss
You wager I
Would stoop to this
Another tally
On your list
A one-time love
A two-hour tryst
You make your move
Here’s the twist
I raise my hand
Brush away your kiss
You won’t push me over
That precipice
You won’t push me over
That precipice

Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice
Won’t push me over
That precipice


(Its a very romanticized account of the many, many times I've been propositioned by drunk, fit women and for some reason I always turned them down... even when single.)

I've already got the arrangement in mind for it, most similar to Deftones in style... kind of groaning the verses, whispering the 1st and 2nd chorus and screaming my lungs out the last chorus when the whole band really kicks in for a very loud ending.

The guitarist and drummer in my band were only in metal bands until this one, and I've found that I have a wicked scream on me so this should be good.
