Silique
A silique or siliqua (plural siliques or siliquae) is a fruit (seed capsule) of 2 fused carpels with the length being more than three times the width. When the length is less than three times the width of the dried fruit it is referred to as a silicle. The outer walls of the ovary (the valves) usually separate when ripe, leaving a persistent partition (the replum). This classification includes many members of the Brassicaceae family, but some species have a shorter fruit of similar structure, in which case the fruit is called silicle. Some species that are closely related to plants with true siliques have fruits with a similar structure that do not open when ripe; these are usually called indehiscent siliques (compare dehiscence).

Close To The Edge
by: SolexUp close to the edge
I wanna fall all the way down
Up close to the edge
Open my eyes
Walk straight ahead
I wanna fall
All the way down
I'm gonna run
When I hit the ground
Do you feel for me what I feel for you
Now you're turning on this electricity
Running through my veins, pulse begins to race
Come and satisy my curiosity
Keep imagining what it would be like
Got the power to make this reality
You're so close to me, almost taste your lips
Flying high, can't you feel it's intensity
Only one way to go when you're on the outside looking in
Tell me what I need know
Don't recognise my own reflection when I'm in this state of mind
Up close to the edge
Open my eyes
Walk straight ahead
I wanna fall
All the way down
I'm gonna run
When I hit the ground
You're taking me close to the edge
Open my eyes walk straight ahead
I wanna fall all the way down
I'm gonna run when I hit the ground
I'm close to the edge....
I wanna fall all the way down....
I'im close to the edge.....
I wanna fall all the way down....
Are you reading me like im reading you
Are we transmitting on a new frequency
Hear it loud and clear
Message understood
Chain reaction coz we've got a chemistry
Now I'm standing here with my world below
Body's shaking is this how it's meant to be?
But I'm not afraid coz I'm not alone
