The bumps, bruises, and broken bones
The blood that pours from open wounds
The stitches needed to mend the cuts
All of this can become too much

The death-defying leaps of faith
The frightening heights at which you face
You still decide to risk your life

Some people do it day and night
Just because it's a way of life
To have the thrill without a pill
Skateboarding is my way of life
