When I slid off the mantle
That held up the pillars of life
Then I fell through the doorway
And stumbled around in the strife
That I've paved from the pills that I take
From mistakes that I've made to survive

I was built brick by brick
But the mortar has crumbled to dust
With a heart made of Iron
For others to clean of the rust
When I'm gone they'll move on
Like someone that you love but I have had enough

So I go Skydiving
Skydiving
Skydiving

As I sat in the corner
And watched as it faded to grey
And as an only daughter
I ought to have known how to say
To my folks that the dope that I smoke
Is the way that I cope with the day

Please don't judge me too badly
For losing the will to fight on
I am tired and angry
And life can be cruel to the young
That have tried but the ride to survive
Is a lie that I have to let go

So I go Skydiving
Skydiving
Skydiving

I go Skydiving
Skydiving
Skydiving
Skydiving
