Close to the edge

Running through a blazing jungle, footsteps matching heartbeats
Staying discreet, jumping over objects and ducking like frog leap
I breathe deep, hoping not to be seen or my family's in jeopardy
Mentally breaking me, I can't seem to see why I want it violently
Bullets ricochet inside of me... silently ending my expeditions..
Wounds mending themselves, adding definition to my mission
I look for ignition... my soul sparks a fuse and I run for the clear
Musicians playing on the edge of a cliff, the backdrop disappears.
It puts an end to my fears as I reach out to touch these legends
And as our fingers connected, I was singing for hours.. or seconds?
Needless to say I left thousands of impressions on the audience
Camera flashes swirling in ambience, scene transects on a monument.
I bent to see what was written on it... the statue on the edge
Got choked up from what it said.. It appeared that I was dead
Turned to flee back to the forest, which was now cemetery drive
Becoming a priest in my mind… funerals jumping from all sides
I praised these signs and prepared to walk an empty stairwell
But before the ground opened up... I read a eulogy to myself..
I descended to hell, the fire engulfed my lungs – they exploded
The setting imploded, fixing puzzle pieces… and I was noticed
Became important, in this new scene filled with these intellectuals
Archeologically finding differences between reality and biblical
Clinically digging away my day, chipping at bones and boulders
Making me colder, “How many fucking rocks can I fit in a folder”
I grow older, get fed up, standing near the edge, preparing to plunge
All my life accomplishments, wrong? I wish I were young….
The scene fades and the palette mixes together in ambiguous texture
I work my job as a janitor, mopping floors for continuous hours..
Feel like a feather, at least this is a smooth descent for a fake…
Jump from the edge, before I hit ground I awake, leaving nothing in my wake.

..damn.
