“I'm so tired but I can't sleep,
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep.
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word;
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard.”

—  Sarah McLachlan

“The perseverence of a rebel, I drop heavier levels
of unseen or heard, a king with words
Can't knock the hustle, but I've seen street dreams deferred
Dark spots in my mind where the scene occurred
Some say I'm too deep, but I'm in too deep to sleep”

Common (rapper) (1972) American rapper, actor and author from Illinois

“Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, We will fall!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”

Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918) French poet

Though we really did try to make it
Somethin' inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it.”

I'm gonna miss you so much if you go.
And hey girl I tell you no lie,
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long, if this is goodbye.”
