Boeing 747 03:00
I jumped off a Boeing 747 just to see if I could fly Clouds go by so fast Strange I'm so relaxed Strange I'm so relaxed I jumped off a Boeing 747, 47 seconds past Like falling into bed Clouds surround my head Clouds surround my bed I told myself I wouldn't cry I told myself no regrets I told myself that I wouldn't be Afraid of death I begin to wonder as I'm going under how long is this gonna last? Blood rushes to your head Rushes to your head Rushes to your head I jumped off a Beeing 747 just to see if I could die Falling to my death Finally catch my breath Finally catch my breath I told myself I wouldn't cry I told myself no regrets Everything that I told myself Was a waste of breath All I wanted was to fly But I wasn't satisfied What I really wanted was to fall After all I inhale slowly as the world below me's falling wholly from my grasp We have come to take you on a holiday

Oh I wish I were a narcissist so everyone would like me And marvel at my facebook pics all taken in good lighting And compliment me on my clothes cause I’d spend more time shopping Oh I wish I were a narcicist so narcissists would like me I wish I were an optimist I’d know a million platitudes And nobody could blame me for not having the right attitude I wish I were a masochist so nobody could hurt me And cigarettes may burn my arm but words would never hurt me Oh to pour my soul into a blog I wish I could believe That people want to read All the little details of my day Cause if I they really knew What I really go through If they really knew I know they’d like me Oh I wish I were a narcissist so somebody could know me I wish that I liked people so I wouldn’t be so lonely But dammit I’m afraid If only I were brave But if I can’t be brave - let me be oblivious Oh I wish I was an idiot so everyone would like me Not smart enough to hate myself so maybe I’d be happy They say you’ll be attractive if you’re having a good time Oh I wish I was an idiot so idiots would like me I wish I wanted something more from life so I could have it And a grand sense of entitlement so if I saw it I would grab it I wish I thought I had something to say so I could say it Humility is killing me but I’m just gonna let it So every day I dance alone cause it takes two to tango I’ve got a poet’s noble heart but not their noble ego I want to have your ear but only if you want to lend it I wish I were a baladeer cause then I could express it. Oh I wish I were a narcissist so everyone would like me.
