The world looks upside down and back wards from way up here
The air is thin and the high beyond compare
To the west, the sun breeds coldness as I'm standing on the edge of nothing
I can feel my life flying right past me, I can feel everything
My time is slowly slipping away
As rays of light illuminate my gray face
My eyes still red and puffy over yesterday
Weary but unafraid
Never further from Heaven's golden gates
I've got my jump suit on
Ready to fall into the setting sun
We've reached the proper altitude
And I slowly begin to unstrap my parachute...
I learned first hand that loneliness is an acquired taste
But still I persevered and searched for change every day
Always thought life was going to turn out to be more
Thought I was stronger than this, thought I knew for sure
Colors blend together and I'm looking down
Everything in my life has led me to the sky, right here and now
It's almost like the past doesn't exist
My thoughts are all over the place, floating in weightlessness
Maybe they'll write about this in the paper tomorrow morning
I hope when those headlines are read the sky goes black and starts pouring
I wanted something so different from this world, from this
But it was asking for too much to want a little happiness
The world gets humid and my mouth dry
I have no more words and no tears left to cry
I take a swallow of this bitter air
And a slow, shaky step off the edge...because I don't care
