Free Fall

I am done screaming for help Long time broken out of my shell Only to face off with hell I've got nothing more to sell Nothing to lose Nothing to prove Man, it is so high up here Fear of heights is the biggest one here This mountain might not be high enough Looking down, I'm thinking of Is this going to be A long kiss goodnight I'm already over the edge In a free fall flight down The jump was quick and swift Crack! went my bones on impact Hitting the ground with a thud! Snap! was heard from my neck down I was sure as dead Did I succumbed of my wounds? I thought Closed my eyes for effect I awoke in the ICU on a respirator Then came the trip An old fellow past me with a drip He told me that now son If you wanna do something Do it right
