We stood upon a cliff
It stood taller then any building
Watching over the small city
Once filled with laughter
You played by the edge
Drowning in unsaid thoughts

I watched you from afar

We stood on a cliff
Watching darkness claim the lights
Now only the insomniacs
fill these empty streets
You pretended to fall
One too many times

My heart stopped beating

We stood upon a cliff
You slipped off the edge
I watched you twenty feet away
Heard the sickening crunch
Before I ran
my eyes laid upon your body

For once I wasn't smiling

I stood on a cliff
Watching your dead body
Tears ran down my cheeks
As sirens came behind me
And I looked down on a city
Once filled with laughter
Now filled with sobriety

Then I fell down with you
