If life is a waterfall
I’m the lowly stream that doesn’t move at all
And if the world is a stage
I should be the lights guy,  at the end of the day

Aerials, in the sky
They beat me down and I don’t ask why
Aerials, so up high
They all walk past and never say hi.

Life is a waterfall
And if that’s so, I’m the two droplets that appall
Some homeless guy walking through the woods
Who’ll die of coronavirus, just cause he could.
I was listening to “Aerials” by System of A Down on repeat, and I decided to write something based on the two central points of the song, “Life is a waterfall” and “Aerials, in the sky.”
