Nick Soma - Standing on the Edge

Heavens open up each time
I'm standing on the edge
For no apparent reason why

What was I thinking? To go there,
To fall down and dissolve?
Why couldn't I just vanish in the sky?

Why, when the chlorinated brine
Calls on me every time
Too much for me
Why, tell me why am I confined
To the laws of gravity?
What was on my mind?
Oh, I'm standing on the edge again this time,
Standing on the edge this time

Hell gates open up each time
She's standing on the edge
Her heart is beating louder than a double bass drum

Lost inside his own world, he is
Standing on the edge
And everything he feels is the sweet sedation

Why did they have to go up there?
Some may say they just don't care,
They fall down and dissolve.
Where is the switch inside their mind?
Do you think they'll stand in line?
Desires can evolve,
And they are standing on the edge tonight, mmmmhhh,
Standing on the edge tonight.

Lost in the show
And everything is full of light
Giant roaring crowd
Ready for the stage dive

Why did I have to go up there?
Some may say I just don't care,
I fall down and dissolve.
Why does the chlorinated brine
Call on me every time?
Desires don't evolve.
And I'm standing on the edge tonight, oh,
Mr. Soma is standing on the edge tonight

Unlike certain other judges, I really liked the "chlorinated brine" line. The song has a strong sense of purpose and groove, in spite of most of the instruments sounding obviously fake; you keep it compelling. (note: I hope when you said your "personal challenge" was to do the whole song with that Casio, you only meant for this song. I don't think I could take a whole competition of Nick Soma songs that sound this cheesey). The challenge feels half-baked, as though you wrote most of your lyrics before remembering you needed to use your name, so that last first-person pronoun just changed to "Mr. Soma" instead. That's the main thing keeping this entry out of top-tier for me.
