Duration: P00H04M16S
Description: So the song is called Precipice, and a precipice is what you call the edge of a cliff or the face of the edge of a cliff. In this song, the precipice represents your inhibitions and things that are stopping you from doing what you want to/need to. The song is about overcoming those inhibitions because there’ll never be a perfect time to do anything.

lyrics

V1:
Its serendipity or something quite alike
For everything to so perfectly align
Though quirks and quiddities do stutter in my mind
Like undergarments on the clothes line

V2
Amorphous oddity was all that I saw
When I pictured my mind in the God damn mirror
The physicality of this thought did graft,
To my skin like a hand tightened on dart.
Though quirks and quiddities did rip open my mind
I must open up my eyes

Chorus:
Woohoo oh we 're on the precipice
Woohoo jump
Woohoo oh we 're on the edge of this
Summit

V3
My head weighed heavily as I pondered slight
I guess they'll never be a perfect time
Though warps and worries still linger in my mind
They'll never be a perfect time
Chorus
Outro:
Ju-u-ump!
We gotta jump.

Ju-u-ump!
We gotta jump.

Ju-u-ump!
We gotta jump.
