the fall that kills you Lyrics

A few steps from the edge a few miles from salvation

A creeping sense of dread the allure of sweet temptation

The terror in my head left my arms covered in abrasions

My futures painted red as I fight gravity's sensation

I've hung around

For too long

I tried to kick the ladder but it stood strong

My emotions

And my thoughts

They never really seemed to get along

Pull the trigger

Grit your teeth

Your eardrums might be ringing for a few weeks

Your life could be

So easy

Without the burden on your conscience and your family

I'm falling

I can't get up

Because lying here is just too fun

I'm flying

Close to the sun

But the heat might be a little much

My wings are burning

The world keeps turning

Into something I could never love

I'm crashing

Down to earth

Through the clouds and to the dirt

I'm up so high

Sometimes I forget

Not everything you said with Ill intent

Apologize

Don't mention it

But I guess I'm thankful for the sediment

The chemicals

That leak inside

Dark thoughts weigh heavy on a fragile mind

I cross my heart

I hope to die

I'm too scared to say the word suicide

I'm falling

I can't get up

Because lying here is just too fun

I'm flying

Close to the sun

But the heat might be a little much

My wings are burning

The world keeps turning

Into something I could never love

I'm crashing

Down to earth

Through the clouds and to the dirt

Your mind plays tricks

Don't fall for it

I'm crawling

Back to my feet

Pick myself up off the street

I'm flying

I can't be beat

So come and get a piece of me

My backs still hurting

The world keeps turning

Upside down but I keep looking up

Still crashing

Down

Cause it's not the fall that kills you it's the ground
