I jump from a buildingAs if I were falling asleep,The wind like a pillowSlowing me down,Slowing me down As if I were dreaming.Surrounded by air,I come to a stop,And stand like a touristWatching the pigeons.People in offices,Wanting to save me,Open their mouths.'Throw me a stone,' I yell,Wanting to fall.But nobody listens.They throw me a rope.And now I am walking,Taking to you,Talking to youAs if I were dreamingI were alive.
