I'm coming home


*a fight with the voices in her head(right side are the voices)

 

 

Take me to the rooftop

As I wander towards

the edge

My mother

warned me about those

But,

she didn't even

take her own advice

The closer I got

the more I saw.

I saw,

was that smile

of yours made me

want to risk it all

Do it

do what?

Jump

I won't get anything out of...

yes you will

a brother

an uncle

a lost mother

that  didn't take her own advice

But... that's not why I

you didn't let me finish

I was going  to say

I don't like this...

NO!

a lost lover

that was taken

Closer,

I looked down

calm waves

patiently waiting

for me

the new

Victim

yea

do it,

jump

Come on, don't tell me your

scared

 

I see you don't like the feeling of drowning

Look what can be happening

I could be

Drifting away from my body

in the,


unnatural sky

 with the moonlight

50 windows

I could be

passing by

I tried and tried

to tell you

That it would be

okay...

as I smiled

we both can

 drifted-apart

that will never happen

unless

 

Death do us apart

Ha, like you will have the guts for that!
 

my only question is

if I jump now/who will catch me?

no one

No one

No one

okay...

No more pain

No more pain

                     

 

I'm coming, home mum
