L'appel du vide

Link to spoken word

Sometimes I feel 

The call of the void
L'appel du vide
The French make it sound so... Beautiful 
Jump
It ushers me in
Jump
The feeling of complete nothingness encompasses me

From a precipice 
it all seems so easy
Just. Jump
All my problems 
Pressure from a life, incomplete 
Gone
Just one leap

I begin to imagine myself
Falling from such distance 
And as soon as I hit the ground 
*breath in*
A breath of life? fills my lungs 
All the moments I would miss
The birthdays the laughter the love 
Gone
Just one leap
And I realise I have more to live for

L'appel du vide
They say it's normal
I say it's healthy
Imagining yourself falling from a great distance
Because being so close to death
Forces you to see life
