"Self-Conclusion"
|
|
Fade in, start the scene
|
Enter beautiful girl
|
But things are not what they seem
|
As we stand at the edge of the world
|
|
"Excuse me, sir,
|
But I have plans to die tonight
|
Oh, and you are directly in my way
|
And I bet you're gonna say it's not right"
|
My reply:
|
"Excuse me, miss
|
But do you have the slightest clue
|
Of exactly what you just said to me
|
And exactly who you're talking to?"
|
|
She said, "I don't care, you don't even know me"
|
I said, "I know but I'd like to change that soon, hopefully"
|
Yeah, we all flirt with the tiniest notion
|
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
|
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
|
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
|
|
"You make it sound so easy to be alive
|
But tell me, how am I supposed to seize this day
|
When everything inside me has died?"
|
My reply:
|
"Trust me, girl
|
I know your legs are pleading to leap
|
But I offer you this easy choice-
|
Instead of dying, living with me"
|
|
She said, "Are you crazy? You don't even know me."
|
I said, "I know, but I'd like to change that soon hopefully"
|
Yeah, we all flirt with the tiniest notion
|
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
|
You see the trick is that you're never supposed to act on it
|
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
|
|
I would be lying if I said that things would never get rough
|
And all this cliche motivation, it could never be enough
|
I could stand here all night trying to convince you
|
But what good would that do?
|
My offer stands, and you must choose
|
|
"All right, you win, but I only give you one night
|
To prove yourself to be better than my atttempt at flight
|
I swear to god if you hurt me I will leap
|
I will toss myself from these very cliffs
|
And you'll never see it coming"
|
"Settle, precious, I know what you're going through
|
Just ten minutes before you got here I was going to jump too"
|
|
Yeah we all flirt with the tiniest notion
|
Of self conclusion in one simplified motion
|
You see the trick is that you're never supposed act on it
|
No matter how unbearable this misery gets
