The deeper I look into those dark eyes
The more I want to jump in
The fear subsides if only a fraction at a time
Until I reach this point
Where I embrace the bridge that takes me away from here
With nothing left behind any less better off that I'm gone
For every tear shed a million stifled yawns
And that's fine with me because
What I see on the other side of that chasm
All that's waiting for me
Is all I've wanted, all I've needed
Drowning in those dark eyes
Will be an easy enough rite of passage
