[Spoken Vocal]
Careful…
That’s sharp.
[Pause]
Really sharp.
Careful…
(Don’t wanna become “awful”)
[Verse 1]
Walking on the edge
With a razor in your hand
One little wrong direction
And you might not understand
Sharp ideas
(Sharp!)
Sharp minds
(Sharp!)
Cutting through the noise
And leaving doubt behind
Don’t confuse the bleeding edge
With knowing where you stand
Sometimes pushing forward
Means knowing when to land
[Pre-Chorus]
Cut!
(Cut!)
Through!
(Through!)
See what’s really
Coming to you!
[Refrain]
Ouch!
(Razor sharp)
I can vouch
(Ouch)
Razor sharp!
(The bleeding edge)
Solemn pledge
[Chorus]
Razor sharp!
(Razor sharp!)
Cutting through the haze
Razor sharp!
(Razor sharp!)
Lighting up the maze
[Verse 2]
The future moves quickly
The present can’t keep pace
New ideas arrive
And old ones lose their place
You can sharpen up your thinking
You can sharpen up your view
But the sharper that the edge becomes
The more it asks of you
Stay aware
(Stay aware!)
The bleeding edge
Is never safe out there
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Fast, Cutting Progressive-Rock Lead With Wah-Wah, Hammond Organ, Distorted Bass and Precision Drums]
[Bridge]
Ouch!
(Razor sharp)
I can vouch
(Ouch)
[Rap Vocal Break]
Razor!
(Razor!)
Sharp!
(Sharp!)
Cut through
The static
Think!
(Think!)
Fast!
(Fast!)
Bleeding edge
(Bleeding edge!)
Leading edge
(Leading edge!)
What’s the difference?
Look at the pledge
Push the limit
(Push!)
Test the claim
(Test!)
If the answer
Can’t survive the game
(It’s not the best)
Cut it!
(Cut!)
Shape it!
(Shape!)
Build a better
Human landscape
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Bass, Muted Guitar and Sparse Drums]
Ouch…
[Whispered]
Razor sharp.
I can vouch…
[Soft Response]
Ouch.
[Pause]
The bleeding edge…
[Whispered]
Solemn pledge.
[Build]
RAZOR SHARP!
[Final Refrain]
Ouch!
(Razor sharp)
I can vouch
(Ouch)
Razor sharp!
(The bleeding edge)
Solemn pledge
[Final Chorus]
Razor sharp!
(Razor sharp!)
Cut through the doubt
Razor sharp!
(Razor sharp!)
Figure it out
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Driving Guitar Riff With Hammond Organ, Bass and Drums; Guitar Feedback Sustains Over a Final Cymbal Crash]
Sharp!
Sharp!
Razor sharp!
[Spoken, fading]
Respect the edge.
(Respect the pledge)
