Jump Off the Balcony
Should I jump off the balcony?
And put an end to misery?
What keeps me from ending my life?
This emptiness cuts like a knife
I wait for sleep that does not come
My heart hurts; my feelings are numb
In the trench of my misery
I lay in the dirt around me
I cannot pray as I used to
God, help me to cling on to You
I'll not jump off the balcony
Because You've been sustaining me
