Breaking Dawn: Book One – Chapter 8 - Jacob's perspective
I wondered—would a bullet through my temple actually kill me or just leave a really big mess for me to clean up?
I threw myself down on the bed. I was tired—hadn’t slept since my last patrol—but I knew I wasn’t going to sleep. My head was too crazy. The thoughts bounced around inside my skull like a disoriented swarm of bees. Noisy. Now and then they stung. Must be hornets, not bees. Bees died after one sting. And the same thoughts were stinging me again and again.

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe
Sometimes I don't believe them myself
And I decided I was never coming down

Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye
It was just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling down

I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

Shut up
So what what does it matter now?
I was swimming in the hate
Now I crawl on the ground
And everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me
I try to laugh about it now
But isn't it funny how everything works out?
I guess the jokes on me, she said

I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

I used to be so big and strong
I used to know my right from wrong
I used to never be afraid
I used to be somebody

I used to have something inside
Now just this hole it's open wide
I used to want it all
I used to be somebody

I'll cross my heart and hope to die
But the needle's already in my eye
And all the world's weight is on my back
And I don't even know why
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said goodbye

I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

Rain, rain, go away
Rain, rain, go away
Rain, rain, go away
Come again some other day

I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
I was up above it
Now I'm down in it

Na na na na na na na na
