E G D A
She said, “Ken if you believe in anything
anything worth believing in
you better step back from the edge
you never know when you might fall right in.”

B A-E-
I’m standing on the edge and I’m ready to jump
I’m coming out my corner and I ready to punch
I’m standing on the edge and I’m ready to go
the blade is on my wrist the blood is ready to flow
F#

She said, “Ken my heart is bleeding
and I wish that you could understand
how hard it is to watch as you
slip down further into no man’s land”

but have a little grace”
She knows I’m not optimistic
and I might be running out of faith

I like this implementation of the challenge. The lyrics overall are a bit melodramatic, but in retrospect this title and challenge combination sort of lend themselves to melodrama. The guitars chug with urgency and your performances are solid. Strong melody, too. I like that you repeated the use of your name as a structural element in the second verse, but then left it behind in the third. I'm a little disappointed at the vocal delivery in some places. It took me longer than I'd care to admit to realize that the second line of the chorus was "Coming out my corner and I'm ready to punch," and at the end of every chorus, you seem to swallow the word "flow." It's disappointing that a song so high in drama should be hampered by a lack of enthusiasm.
