this time, won't even settle for slant rhyme
if it means choosing each tired phrase over one no one else'd say
who listens to the words anyway?

when you wake up
and it feels like its further away

Lyrics:
I’ll stand above this cliff
And offer up my soul
Would there be an end to pain
To jump in to this hole
Could this be goodbye
If there’s a light below me
Will it set me free
Could I fly today
Is this my only option

There was something, now there’s nothing If you walk away
Can you find me, would you hold me, would you beg me to stay?
In this dark world, full of anger, would you kneel, would you pray…

I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I think I did a good job of summoning up a mellow, trippy atmosphere with a relatively minimalist arrangement (acoustic guitar, two pianos, lead vocal, and a guitar solo).
