We jump off this building at least once a year
So why does it feel like the end is getting near?
It had made you a prettier person on the inside, still
Parts of you butt ugly that you need to hide.

At the last minute I hold out my arm,
But there's no way to hold back an oncoming train.
Black smoke with passengers yakking on phones as 
They sit unaware while the tracks draw a stain.

Hitting ground and not the free fall makes this one cry.
For a second as I fall I swear I fly.
A place to pray and a place to argue 'bout my mistakes,
You once thought I had knack now no great shakes

Building a wall by the tracks might keep somebody,
Whose in a bad state far out of the way.
I'm up ahead plant my feet to the rail ties,
While far too detached to remove from the frame.
