Swan Dive

I climb, hand over hand, closing my eyes

Too scared to look down

I climb, hand over hand

Putting distance between I and I and the ground

I get to the top

I stand on the edge

I look to the sky, and say all my prayers

[Chorus:]

What could be better than a swan dive into the asphalt

I don't know, nothing can be better than a swan dive into the asphalt

You should ask somebody, 'cause I've got nothing to lose tonight

I misplaced my life tonight, chased all my friends away tonight

I don't say the right things

I don't look the right way

That's just not me

I listen to my music too loud and watch too much damn TV

I get to the top

I stand on the edge

I look to the sky, and say all my prayers

[Chorus:]

What could be better than a swan dive into the asphalt?

I don't know

Nothing can be better than a swan dive into the asphalt

What could be better than a swan dive into the asphalt?

I don't know

Nothing can be better than a swan dive into the asphalt

Tell me, who can control the flood?

No one

Where are the angels?

Nowhere

Where's the honesty?

Nowhere

Where's the compassion?

Nowhere

Who knows the truth?

(No one)

Who will believe in me?

(No one)

Who will stand by me?

(No one)

Who will fly with me?

(No one)

I climb, hand over hand, closing my eyes

Too scared to look down

I climb, hand over hand

Putting distance between I and I and the ground

I get to the top, stand on the edge, look to the sky

[Chorus:]

What could be better than a swan dive into the asphalt?

I don't know

Nothing can be better than a swan dive into the asphalt

There's nothing left for me

There's nothing left for me

There's nothing left for me

Nothing left for me
