Don't Jump (Ft. Cyanide Spit)

lyrics

He’s on a cliff, he’s looking sad, his life is messed up,
No self confidence, can’t take the pressure,
Always feels lesser, always he’s stressed out,
His life is a hallway, it’s long and stretched out,
His heart hurts, but he’s still strong in his health,
His head hurt’s, but he looked the wrong way for help,
If only I could stop him, he’s focused on the ground,
There’s no way he could live, it’s a long way down,
I’m a long way off, but I see his silhouette,
All the secrets that he kept, have been leading to his death,
If he sees me, he may leap, I’d be crushed if he leapt,
So I gotta creep, can’t even breathe when I step,
Gotta get close, gotta sneak up, ease to his left,
So I go slow, crawling on my knees , holding breath,
Ducked behind a rock, so close I hear him cry,
Stood straight up to say something, then saw why.

Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it,
It isn’t your time to see curtains,
Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you,
It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you,
Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it,
It isn’t your time to see curtains,
Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you,
It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you

He wasn’t staring at the ground, he was staring at his wife,
At the bottom of the cliff, staring blankly at the heights,
I asked him if he did it, he answered me no,
I Lit some cannabis, he lit a candle, standing alone,
Too much to handle, couldn’t manage it, he wanted to go,
His girl is hamburger, it damaged him and mangled his soul,
So now he’s screaming like a banshee, it’s making me antsy,
I’m not liking my chance, he jumps can’t do a damn thing,
I’m handcuffed, bound by a force I can’t see,
I move wrong, he’s dead before I can count three,
So we chill, smoking a spliff, motionless,
Almost peaceful, but far from emotion-less ,
I inch close, so slow, he don’t notice it,
I’m Hopeful, amidst all his hopelessness,
But that’s because I don’t realize how potent this,
Notion he’s to blame, that’s he’s been holdin’ is.


Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it,
It isn’t your time to see curtains,
Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you,
It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you,
Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it,
It isn’t your time to see curtains,
Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you,
It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you

Just give me one reason not to, I've got to make this better,
I cant believe what happened in the dark and stormy weather,
Who ever could imagine this happening so quick,
In the blink of an eye I just couldn’t control it,
Holding hands and makin love, I swear id never make it up,
This woman was everything, I'd never try and break that up,
Sacred love, the type you always hear about,
Never stutter steppin through a moment of doubt,
But now its over at the snap of the fingers,
There aint a point of goin on because no happiness lingers,
No purpose in existence if it only feels worthless,
Headed over the edge, embedding deep within the surface,
(Inhale) Don’t jump - whatever it is it isn’t worth it,
But my Life up until now’s felt like nothing but perfect,
Now shes dead and its something that ill never get past,
I'll never last, without my better half, so let me crash,

Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it,
It isn’t your time to see curtains,
Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you,
It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you,
Don’t Jump, whatever it is, it isn’t worth it,
It isn’t your time to see curtains,
Don’t Jump you got your whole life ahead of you,
It won’t deaden the pain but it’ll deaden you

He jumped off the edge, screaming peace as he fell,
And I let him go, noticing my tears as they welled,
I didn’t have an answer for the question he asked,
It happened so fast, I heard him break rocks when he smashed,
His vertebrae curdled my blood, I heard his spine break,
His last words fucked me up, like I’d been mind raped,
He was my best friend, and never even knew it,
Cause I never really said it, I find that I regret it,
I don’t know where he’s headed, but I hope he found his girl,
cause a love like that doesn’t exist in this world,
it’s a fairy tale, just too good to be true,
and that’s depressing, now I think I wanna jump too,
I don’t wanna jump hoops, and wear a dumb suit,
Just to find out if someone I love loves me too,
So I’m signing off, with a final fuck you Earth,
And screamin I love hip-hop, til I hit dirt.
