The Ledge
Standing on the ledge
Eyes up to the sky
I know that I am up here now
But still, I'm not sure why
My eyes have both seen better days
Though I'm not sure what they were
Darkness clouds them from my sight
Maybe that's what I prefer
I'm going to fly
Standing on the ledge
The whole world standing still
All eyes on me waiting to see
The power of my will
The crowd knows what they want from me
A cheap and easy thrill
They step outside, their mouths drawn wide
Like vultures before a k**
I'm going to fly
I know that they're waiting for me
Down below they're all waiting for me
And I know that they're waiting for me in the sky
I'm going to fly
Standing on the ledge
Naked as the day I was born
Toes over the ledge
Just as to my friend I've sworn
I know that they're waiting for me
Up above they're all waiting for me
I take my hands off the wall
I'm screaming as I fall
