I climb the stairs
To destruction
No rail on either side
A sheer precipice
To merely let me fall
I catch my breath
And close my eyes
I climb the stairs
To the skies
Like walking a plank
To murderous waters
Shaky steps
To a end
The means of life
I was denied
Through it all
I still tried
But waters rise
And steps crumble
And who will catch me
When I stumble
