: 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!
