Keep Your Eyes on My Face

[John Untan Leaps off the Westminster Bridge - Unknown Photographer]

Most folks think they'll hit the surface
And never, feel no pain
Water pulls you under
Back to the womb once again
Bodies float to the shore
Bloated purple and blue
If sharks don't get you first
Crabs will have their way with you
-Cold War Kids, Golden Gate Jumpers

It's from a British newspaper. This guys really did try to kill himself, but was rescued, and later interviewed.
