I find myself on top of a cliff  

The night is cold and dark 

I wonder why I forgot to wear a sweater

I wonder why I’m even here

 

They say you must talk yourself off the cliff

Take deep breaths and move backward

Think about what drove you here

And why you need to go back home

 

As I look around I see no car

I never drove myself here

I wasn’t in the driver’s seat

Rushing my way over

 

I'm standing on the side of a cliff

With no way to explain it

My mind is mute

And my body is numb

 

I can’t fight this feeling

There’s no source of the pain

It's another episode squeezing me tight

An episode I see on most nights

 

How can I talk myself off a cliff?

If I don’t have anything to talk about

How do I stop myself from jumping?

When I’m forced to hit the ground
