VERTIGO

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
