The Leaper
by Deas Vail

Album: Birds & Cages

I'm telling you, son,
It's been a long time coming.
I don't want to take
Anything away from you.
It'll just be a little while
If that's alright.
How can I place
Every piece together
When I don't want to face
All the things I put you through?
If you can't see me in this way,
Well, that's alright.

So I'll leap from the edge
Knowing nothing of the fall.
How much time do we have
Before the end?
As the world rushes in,
I'm compelled to look back home.
And I'm finally conscious of
How this began.
The beginning of a lifetime
In the chains of the leaper's end.

I cover my face,
And I swear I won't go
For another taste.
It's the poison in my mouth.
And I think if I don't go back,
I can't go wrong.

So I'll leap from the edge
Knowing nothing of the fall.
How much time do we have
Before the end?
As the world rushes in,
I'm compelled to look back home.
And I'm finally conscious of
How this began.
The beginning of a lifetime
In the chains of the leaper's end.

So I'll leap from the edge
Knowing nothing of the fall.
How much time do we have
Before the end?
As the world rushes in,
I'm compelled to look back home.
And I'm finally conscious of
How this began.
The beginning of a lifetime
In the chains of the leaper's end.
