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
