0:30She sits on a window sill Looking down it's quite a thrill
0:35Imagery imagining what is it like to be dead
0:43She walks out upon the ledge searching for the living end
0:47She wonders wondering just what has changed in her head
0:55Looking outward through my pain
0:58Looking through my window pane
1:02See her face turn into rain
1:08She prepares her face at last Taking off the piece of glass
1:13Wrapped 'round her eyes
1:14She doesn't cry She's very young
1:17And very bright to die
1:24Then so quickly she stands up Takes her shoes off in a lump
1:28She lays them down Lately she has drowned
1:37Checks to see her room is neat making sure her clothes are clean
1:41Dying death in dirty clothing puts you down
1:49Looking outward through my pain
1:52Looking through my window pane
1:55See her face turn into rain
2:01Then so quickly she stand up crouches low prepares to jump
2:06Quite properly pretends she's in gym shooting a basketball
2:14Floating downward through the air remembering the state of her hair
2:18She falls and nobody hears it at all
2:26Looking outward through my pain
2:29Looking through my window pane
2:33See her face turn into rain
2:38Yes dawn coming through the rain it has washed her mind away
2:44I went ahead and made my bed nothing really need by said
2:50But she is dead
3:31You can have it cause I don't want it
3:37If you want it you can have it
3:43I can't take it I'm falling I'm calling
3:52Please please help me please help me
