LYRICS
Battle won. War Lost.
Not most. Forever Lost.
Now no one
Know no one

Moan… in the alone zone
Betwixt ain’t a fix

Pain gone…
Or endlessly lingering on?

Want to be free from “me”?
That’s no destiny

Save you from your slave
Save you from your slavery

Drowning In The River Styx

LYRICS
With my eyes open
I dream a scene
A reaching arm
Just under the surface

Now you are coping
With the real mean
A soul alarm
Craving for your face

Instead of a fix…
… you’re drowning in the river Styx

Swirling your head
In a cesspool of dead

Can’t shout “reach out!”

LYRICS
I’m wondering (I wonder) how hard
Is the cement really that thick?
I wonder (I’m wondering) how hard
If I’m going to dive through…
… is there a trick

Chorus
A circle of angels singing ’round your head
When the jumper jumps, he makes his own bed
You know it’s really, really gonna smart
Right before you start to stop your heart

Should I go head first
To minimize the pain
Should I go feet first
With or agin’ the grain?

Chorus

ABOUT THE SONG

Written and recorded in Chester County, Pennsylvania. It is a suicide prevention song inspired by *Cowboy* Dan Willimann after he jumped from the Chestnut Street parking garage in West Chester, Pennsylvania. For anyone that thinks suicide is the “coward’s way out”… I think not.

Right before you start to stop your heart

LYRICS
Feeling like a black cloud is hovering?
Well if it keeps on raining….

It’s raining. It’s pouring. Hit his head… now, he’s dead.
Couldn’t get up in the mourning.

The rain spills upon the hill
Runnin’ down, down, down
Runnin’ still… runnin’ ’till fill
Wash the black cloud frown
Away

Flashflood
The day you wash away
Flesh n’ blood
The day you wash away

Gonna fill
To the high water mark
Run until
… the high water mark

on a lark, embark
