Please?
Well,
In the deadly calm after the storm
Rain quietly dripping down
Washing both the blood and the smiles
Off my frightened face
In the quiet aftermath
Of what you could call a life
After I've seen it all
After I've murdered me
So many times
Like the fool I am
Well,
I was ready to just give up
I guess
Become another soldier
And die someday, easily
I was ready to fall asleep
You know
Living a stranger's life
Well,
Here you are now
Just looking at me like
It's the first day again
I'm wiser than that
But I'm a fool, I guess
'Cause already
Before I could catch my breath
I've jumped off the cliff
Again
So please, but I don't really mind
I can handle another fall
I guess
But please,
Catch me
This time around
