Certain Death
When I stand upon this ledge,
All I see is certain death.
The sun in the sky above means nothing.
For all I see is certain death.
When I think about the afterlife,
My feet walk closer and closer to this ledge.
Why am I even here to begin with?
When all I think about is my own death.
When I stand upon this ledge,
Oh, what a beautiful end.
My blood painting every inch;
Flooding the pavement below.
Hear me now,
I've officially lost my mind.
When I stand upon this ledge,
All I see is certain death....
