VERTIGO
A voice in my head like a baby bawling
It is not about heights, it is about falling
It’s like the ground down there is calling
At least it appears to be that way to me
Yet is the thought of flying just a fantasy
But by now I should know, it is vertigo
If I were blessed with wings, I could try
To take a step and soar up into the sky
Or not, and just plummet down to die
It really cannot help, this swirling vision
It will be the clear basis for my decision
But by now I should know, it is vertigo
The feeling is causing everything to spin
And almost hurts my brain to keep it in
I should have left before it could begin
Being on this cliff edge was a crazy idea
I was hoping I could overcome this fear
But by now I should know, it is vertigo
