falling into this despair again
and i cling to you
my last leg of hope
to catch me when i fall
I can feel the fabric of you
beneath my fists
and it’s beginning to crack
to split open and take on
a new facade
take on a new facade
this is how i end
falling
into the ocean into the sea
into the sky into the stars
this is how i end
Odd, I never thought
it could be this wonderful
this grand
falling
back into
the ocean of despair
the ocean that leaves me
choking and drowning
coughing and laughing
Odd, Here I am falling
and i can only think of you
and the fabric of your reality
so different then mine
and all the truths that you hold
most dear
begin to disintegrate
as you let me slip away
as you let me fall
Odd, I thought you would care
