Trying and trying, but things just keep adding up and up and up until it gets to the point where it all... takes over.","content":"Over the Edge\n\n  \n  \n\nFree and clear,\n\nNothing here,\n\nNo clouds in a mile,\n\nBeen sunny for a while.\n\n  \n\nThen a rumble,\n\nBarely a mumble,\n\nBeyond the horizon,\n\nWind is rising.\n\n  \n\nCloser it gets,\n\nSlowly it sets,\n\nA storm grows,\n\nBut no one knows.\n\n  \n\nIt adds up,\n\nOver filling my cup,\n\nI try to ignore,\n\nThe carefully building roar.\n\n  \n\nAnother addition,\n\nCreating the condition,\n\nTo allow it all,\n\nTo hit the wall.\n\n  \n\nAnd come tumbling,\n\nDown and I'm fumbling,\n\nTo calm it down,\n\nBefore I begin to drown.\n\n  \n\nIt builds and builds,\n\nStronger than any of my shields,\n\nOne more piece,\n\nTo destroy the peace.\n\n  \n\nOver the edge it goes,\n\nA gale force wind blows,\n\nAnd there's nothing I can do,\n\nThan to see it through.\n\n  \n\nIn silence,\n\nMy penance,\n\nNo sound,\n\nHit ground.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
