LEDGE TO NOWHERE
Standing on the ledge to nowhere, thinking of life, death, regret and penance. Standing on the ledge to nowhere, lookin down, a terrifying chill races thru me. Standing on the ledge to nowhere, looking up, storm clouds chasing away warmth and sun. Standing on the ledge to nowhere, fallen angels mercilessly raise my arms into wings.

BRICK AND MORTAR
