: Who did you say you were again?
: I told you once, we must embark
      Now test your legs and jump my friend.
: But it's so deep, and it's so dark
      Are you so sure that this is right?
: Remember when she laughed at you
      I know you see her face at night
      For all those bows and hearts you drew
      What was it worth when it was done?
: It's true, that ghost torments my eyes
      I know I've lost but who has won?
      Have I not time to say goodbyes?
: Just say hello when you are there
      It's not so hard, just take that leap
      And fall with purpose, not with care,
      You won't regret when your asleep.
:Are you so sure?
:                           Already said!
      Can't you see I wouldn't lie
      Can't you get that through your head
      I know you know you want to fly.
: And why should I believe in you?
: Because my friend, we share a name.
: I don't believe this can be true!
: Believe it, friend, we are the same.
: Then all you say, I say myself.
: And now that you have realized
       It's time to put life on the shelf.
: Oh, why am I so mesmerized
      Your voice is like a crystal bell;
      Your hand is like an angels wings
      And yet, I know it's sent from hell
      Oh why, oh why, this siren sings?
: It sounds so good and feels so right
       And you and I, we both know why
       It smells like daisies in the light
       It tastes like homemade cherry pie.
       The daggered rocks await your fate.
: Those welcome terra-cotta homes
       But don't they wait to mutilate?
: But sing you songs and write you poems!
       If I could take the words I spew
       And make a flashing neon sign
       Perhaps you'd see my words are true
       And realize that it is time.
: Please, don't do it!
:                              I CAN'T do it!
: I won't do it!
:                       We've been through it!
: Should I do it...?
:                           See? You knew it!
: Can I do it?
:                   Always knew it.
      Now nothing more is left unsaid
      Our souls await that warm caress
      It's time that you and me were dead.
      This life is always so much less
: To live would be my only crime
       Oh god, I feel that awful lump!
: Now lose your soul, 'cause it is time
       Just jump, just JUMP, just JUMP, just JUMP!
