The stars where pretty last night,
I had walked up to the rooftop
To get a glimpse of the life
I had to dramatically drop

Under me people walking,
Talking and yelling,
People living their lifes,
With no concern of the knife-
Lying next to me with their advice

A deep breath is all I needed to look up,
To the night sky, the stars, yup.
I've lost my mind,
They say,
Yet I see myself blind,
At the end of the day

They're right,
I think to myself.
Birds up no longer flying in sight,
Yet I see myself deaf
at the end of the day

"Save me"
I scream to the world,
And I silently agree

How would it feel to fly?
They say curiosity kills the cat,
Maybe
it killed me too,

Because when I took a step forward,
I decided to no longer live by word
The word that decided my fate?
Thats stupid,
They say.

At the end, I learned to fly,
I died, yet I flew high-
Now every night I can look up,
Without the scare to wake someone up.

Good night, I said.
The stars were pretty that day
