Some of Us

I remember that morning like it was yesterday
Threw my suitcase in the truck
Kissed my mother on the cheek
It’s not so easy to leave everything you know
Eyes full of excitement, with hearts so sad to leave our home
Standing on the edge and looking over top the cliff searching for a way out of this
Just ask yourself this question
Will the jump kill you or will it let you fly
For the first time in your life
I was sinking like a stone inside my own mind, as we watched the world fall
Scared that we could lose it all
When you’re living out a dream, it’s the devil you will meet
When you’re face to face with all your fears, will you still believe
Then you’re standing on the edge and looking over top the cliff searching for a way out of this
Just ask yourself this question
Will the jump kill you or will it let you fly
For the first time in your life
A triumph and a tragedy, the scars remind but they will never heal
Suicide is sweet relief to someone who could never really feel
And we drove into the sunset as the brothers and the sisters softly wept
Some of us are starting fresh and some of us will never wake again
