"One Cold February Morning."lyrics

I remember walking the plank
One cold february morning
And I could feel the embers burning at the bottom of my feet

I wasn't sure if they were watching
But I felt their icy heartless stares
Scimitars prodding at my back
And a pride they wish was theirs

Screaming and cheering,
I tried to block them out but instead
A swarm of controversial voices
Assembled in my head

And they said
Go for it, Bobby jump,
All the world is in your favor now
You've underestimated your surroundings
But I'm sure that we can work something out,
If you jump now..
Take a deep breath and, Bobby don't,
All the world can be in your favor now
We know its been a bumpy year for you
Since you've let your guard down
But I'm sure we can figure this all out
Please step back now

I remember my hands tied behind my back
And they had blindfolded my eyes
I remember being predisposed to this catastrophic end
...And it was about time.

As I practically paced on the wooden ledge
With the bitter air stinging my skin
I molded a pose, braced myself and composed
But my mind was thinking different

Treading on the edge now
I tried for once to think for myself
But a swarm of biased voices
Were inclined on something else

And they said
Go for it, Bobby jump,
All the world is in your favor now
You've underestimated your surroundings
But I'm sure we can work something out,
If you jump now.
Take a deep breath and, Bobby don't,
All the world can be in your favor now
We know its been a bumpy year for you
Since you've let your guard down
But I'm sure we can figure this all out
Please step back now

There's no beginning to this story
Just regrets from a former mind
The air stinging my fingertips
Can only remind me
The doubt that comes with knowing
And all the thoughts I left behind
I guess I should've known it then
And for that I apologize
And although I'm sinking into a swarm
Of such useless memories
They're the only things that caress me as I disappear into the sea
Voices yet again praying for me to wash up ashore
What about my voice? Hey, can you hear ME?
I'm trapped down here on the ocean floor.
