the view from (12:11am)

Despite everything, is it still you?

Should I ever speak again
Through a letter, scrawled in pen
Addressed to those who know me best
I'll tell you a story, 'fore I fall down again

Standing here, all paths before me
Nudging toward the abyss below me
I can see the view from the top-down
It's freedom that I've never known
Take a step, up onto the ledge, now
Close my mind, my fear is gone, now
I can smile, as I leap
As I fall, I start to see

The view from halfway down awakens me
The view from halfway down will unburden me
The view from halfway down is all I see
I'm halfway down, yet I'm damned to only see
