Your performance meant to entertain—
wouldn’t cause us no more pain.
Tight-roping your flat line…
but who am I to say goodbye when you’re still alive?
Maybe I’m just afraid of heights…
With every breath you should be sure
it’s something death cannot endure…
No net between you and the ground.
The crowd around you makes no sound.
Life is such a long way down...
Truth’s rope thin as a crack in glass—
if only we’d lied at the same time…
Your courageous need to demonstrate
you deserve your only fame
falls short of what we expect.
But you and I, afraid of dying when we’re still alive—
and now you fall to all our deaths…
Your sickness seeks only what’s pure.
Can the placebo be a cure?
The courage you’ve found makes us proud.
The evening light drawn like a shroud—
tonight we’ll make the sun stay out.
You’ve flirted with death so long
that even your tombstone seems to blush…
