Suicide Dive

from Sink Or Swim by Nick Swan Band

/

about

I wrote this song shortly after the death of Chris Cornell. I had seen him with Soundgarden just a few weeks before and the news hit me hard. This combined with the memory of Kurt Cobain's suicide when I was a young man just getting into music made me think of my own depression, and how to get through it. I try to use music, and I hope it helps...

lyrics

I started at the bottom
Got lost in the abyss
Now I'm right back where I started
But I know that I'll be missed

Some people give up tryin
And some die deep inside
But I just go on living
When part of me has died

I hope I can survive...
This suicide dive

I wish that I could fly away from here
Where all this pain is gone
I don't wanna have to die to be reborn
But I know my road is long
I hope I can survive
This suicide dive

I'm steppin off the ledge now
Into the wind
I know this could be wrong
But something's gotta give
I'm moving to the light now
Into the sun
There's no more turning back
And nowhere left to run
I'm flying over clouds now
Above the sea
There's something in the air there waiting for me
I've said all my goodbyes now
Nothing left to say
Except for all the things I never got to say
